Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome variable in this study is the occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This variable is identified and documented by a cardiologist based on electrocardiographic (ECG) evidence and recorded episodes of atrial fibrillation within 48 to 72 hours postoperatively. Timepoint: Atrial fibrillation will be measured and recorded at the following time points:Before coronary artery bypass graft surgery (as baseline)48 hours after surgery72 hours after surgery. Method of measurement: Atrial fibrillation will be measured using a standard twelve-lead electrocardiogram device at the specified time points. Final diagnosis will be made by a cardiologist based on electrocardiogram interpretation. | — |
