Review Meta Analysis
Obstructive sleep apnea as a predictor of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Post-coronary artery bypass grafting atrial fibrillation (PCAF) is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and system costs. Few studies have explored obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as a risk factor for PCAF. We aimed to systematically review and synthesize the evidence associating OSA with PCAF. ⋯ OSA was shown to be a strong predictor of PCAF.
