Comparison of SYNTAX Score I and SYNTAX Score II for Predicting Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

CONCLUSION: POAF occurred in more than one-tenth of patients undergoing CABG, and it is associated with in-hospital MACE and one-year mortality. Age, history of CAD, LAD, SSI, and SSII are independent predictors of POAF. SSII seems to be more accurate than SSI for predicting POAF. PMID: 31596705 [PubMed - in process]
