Abstract Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia to occur after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the risk factors for new-onset POAF after CABG during the perioperative period have yet to be clearly defined. Accordingly, the aim of our systematic review was to evaluate the perioperative predictors of new-onset POAF after isolated CABG. Method Our review methods adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline. We searched seven electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycArticles, Cochrane, Web of Science, and SCOPUS) to identify all relevant English articles published up to January 2020. Identified studies were screened independently by two researchers for selection, according to predefined criteria. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of studies retained. Results After screening, nine studies were retained for analysis, including 4798 patients, of whom 1555 (32.4%) experienced new-onset POAF after CABG. The incidence rate of new-onset POAF ranged between 17.3% and 47.4%. The following risk factors were identified: old age (p < 0.001), a high preoperative serum creatinine level (p = 0.001), a low preoperative hemoglobin level (p = 0.007), a low left ventricle ejection fraction in Asian patients (p = 0.001), essential hypertension (p < 0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.010), renal failure (p = 0.009), cardiopulmonary bypass use (p = 0.002), perfusion time (p = 0.017), postoperative use of inotropes (p < 0.001), postoperative renal failure (p = 0.001), and re-operation (p = 0.005). All studies included in the analysis were of good quality. Conclusions The risk factors identified in our review could be used to improve monitoring of at-risk patients for early detection and treatment of new-onset POAF after CABG, reducing the risk of other complications and negative clinical outcomes.

• Background Studies of resource utilization by patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting have addressed only length of stay and bed charges.• Objective To compare resource utilization between patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation and patients without atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting.• Methods Retrospective review of clinical and administrative electronic databases for 720 subjects who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass in 25 months at one medical center. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation was determined, and resource utilization in various hospital cost centers was compared between subjects with and without atrial fibrillation.• Results The prevalence of new-onset atrial fibrillation was 33.1%. Compared with subjects without atrial fibrillation, subjects with atrial fibrillation had a longer stay (5.8 ± 2.4 vs 4.4 ± 1.2 days, P&lt; .001), more days receiving mechanical ventilation (P=.002) and oxygen therapy (P&lt; .001), and higher rates of readmission to the intensive care unit (4.6% vs 0.2%, P&lt; .001). Subjects with atrial fibrillation also had more laboratory tests (P&lt; .001) and more days receiving cardiac drugs, heparin, diuretics, and electrolytes. Subjects with atrial fibrillation had higher total postoperative charges ($57261 ± $17 101 vs $50 905 ± $10 062, P = .001), a mean difference of $6356. The mean differences were greatest for bed charges ($1642), laboratory charges ($1215), pharmacy ($989), and respiratory care ($582).• Conclusions The economic impact of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting has been underestimated.

The outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery are determined by numerous factors. This study aimed to analyze the factors contributing to short-term outcomes of patients undergoing isolated CABG. This retrospective analysis enrolled all adult patients undergoing isolated CABG at our center between January 2013 and December 2016. Clinical characteristics and postoperative events were recorded and analyzed. Overall, 242 patients (mean age, 59.7 ± 9.5 years) were included. The majority of the patients (88.4%) were men. The median left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 50% ± 15%, with 38% patients having an LVEF lower than 40% and 9.1% having an LVEF lower than 25%. The mean preoperative creatinine level was 1.25 ± 0.73, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate was 68.55 ± 23 ml/min/1.73 m2. The intensive cardiac care unit stay and total in-hospital stay were 70 ± 59 h and 8 ± 4 days, respectively. The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.1%. The most common major adverse events were new-onset atrial fibrillation (31.8%) and significant worsening of renal function (21.5%). Stroke occurred in 3.7% patients, for which preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dyslipidemia were strong predictors (P < 0.05; area under the curve [AUC], 87.7%). Advanced age and hypertension were considered significant risk factors for developing new-onset atrial fibrillation (P < 0.05; AUC 65%). Worsening renal function and new-onset atrial fibrillation were the most frequent complications that occurred during hospitalization following CABG. Preexisting CKD and dyslipidemia were the major risk factors for developing acute stroke post surgery.
