20252 citationsOpen accessKafr el-Sheikh University

Abstract

Our findings suggest that POAF group may be associated with higher short-term mortality, long-term mortality, and length of hospital and ICU stay in patients undergoing CABG. Furthermore, there was a higher association between POAF and some postoperative complications such as stroke, acute renal failure, acute heart failure, and pneumonia. However, POAF did not seem to significantly affect rates of acute MI and reintubation.
