Background: Catheter ablation has become a widely accepted treatment for atrial fibrillation, but early recurrences remain a challenge, often attributed to inflammatory responses triggered during the procedure. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of colchicine in preventing short-term AF recurrence post-ablation.
Method: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies comparing use of colchicine and placebo in patients after AF ablation.
Background: Caffeine is commonly used as therapy for apnea of prematurity and has shown potential in preventing other conditions in preterm neonates. However, the optimal timing for caffeine therapy remains uncertain.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of early versus late administration of caffeine in preterm neonates.
