“…However, a similar relationship was not seen between the same group of patients and hospital mortality. [10] In a study by Bramer et al [11] in which the patients were enrolled for a longer period of time, it was determined that preoperative AF was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality in CABG patients. The incidence of AF in our study group was 24.5%, and the mortality rates between the two groups were not significantly different.…”

“…3,4 The 30-day and 6-month mortality risk is increased 2-fold in patients who experience postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). 3,5 The extra time in the hospital and necessary interventions result in increased costs of approximately $10,000 per patient. 4 Some well-known risk factors for POAF after cardiac surgery include advanced age, increased atrial size, low blood serum electrolytes, and combined cardiac procedures, for example, valve repair plus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).…”
