Association of smoking with postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac surgery: A PRISMA-compliant article.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cigarette smoking is an important modifiable risk factor for incident atrial fibrillation. However, the impact of smoking on postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains controversial. We performed this meta-analysis to explore the association of smoking with postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac surgery.

Methods

We systematically searched 2 computer-based databases (PubMed and EMBASE) up to July 2019 for all relevant studies. A random-effects model was selected to pool the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). In this meta-analysis, the protocol and reporting of the results were based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement.
