Significance of Intraoperative Medication Data and Model Selection for Predicting Postoperative First-Time Atrial Fibrillation
Author(s): Jingzhi Yu*
Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and
has a well-established association with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery. Being able to predict Post-
Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) may improve surgical outcomes. This study aims to understand the efficacy
of incorporating intraoperative medication data to predict first-time POAF in patients undergoing CABG surgery.
Methods: This study aims to understand the efficacy of incorporating intraoperative medication data to predict
first-time POAF in patients undergoing CABG surgery. A large cohort of 3807 first-time CABG patients with no
known history of atrial fibrillation was retrospectively assembled to study factors that contribute to occurrence of
post-operative atrial fibrillation, in addition to te.. View More»
