Background: Pre-existing and new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is a common arrhythmia in COVID-19 patients and is related to increased mortality. CHADS-VASc score was initially developed to evaluate thromboembolic risk in patients with AF. Moreover, it predicted adverse outcomes in other clinical conditions, including SARS-CoV-2 infection.

- - The Stewart-Figge acid-base model is complex, so researchers created a simpler bedside version using mid-reference concentrations for calcium and magnesium and setting pH to 7.4.
- - The new model features adjusted values for strong ion difference ([SIDa, adj]) and a "bicarbonate gap" ([BICgap]), with high accuracy for diagnosing various acid-base disorders in patients with respiratory issues.
- - The study showed strong correlations and predictive accuracies for diagnosing conditions like strong ion acidosis and unmeasured ion acidosis using the new model, which performs well compared to traditional methods.
