Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is common and results in significant increases in hospital stay and financial encumbrance.
Objective: Determine and use the predictors of postoperative AF (POAF) following CABG to develop a new predictive screening tool.
Method: A retrospective case-control study evaluated 388 patients (98 developed POAF and 290 remained in sinus rhythm) who undertook CABG surgery at Townsville University Hospital between 2016 and 2017.
