Predictors of Late Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cardiac Surgery.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
July 2024
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated the predictors and timing of late atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in patients who underwent cardiac surgery, focusing on those without prior AF.
- - Out of 1,031 patients analyzed, 14% experienced late AF recurrence, with a significant link found between early postoperative AF (POAF) lasting more than 48 hours and later AF episodes.
- - The findings suggest that a longer POAF duration increases the risk of future AF, highlighting the need for further research on monitoring and treatment strategies for these patients.

Background And Objectives: As outcomes for extremely premature infants improve, up-to-date, large-scale studies are needed to provide accurate, contemporary information for clinicians, families, and policy makers. We used nationwide New Zealand data to explore the impact of gestational age on health and educational outcomes through to adolescence.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of all births in New Zealand appearing in 2 independent national data sets at 23 weeks' gestation or more.
Travellers visiting friends and relatives (VFRs) often have complex pre-travel needs. We identified the characteristics, destinations, vaccinations and pre-travel advice provided to VFRs and compared these with non-VFR travellers. The significant differences we found suggest that future research should focus on improving the uptake of recommended interventions in VFR travellers.
