Description
Summary:Malnutrition is associated with adverse surgical outcomes. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, a nutritional screening tool, could be a predictor of postoperative atrial fibrillation and outcomes in cardiac surgery. The authors enrolled 292 patients who underwent cardiac surgery and showed postoperative atrial fibrillation during hospitalization, and assessed mortality and readmission during a 90-day follow-up period. A large academic hospital in China. Participants were divided into low-risk (Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index
