High Killips Class as a Predictor of New-onset Atrial Fibrillation Following Acute Myocardial Infarction: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background: Recent observational studies have shown that patients with higher Killips score (〉Ⅰ) have higher risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), while others drew a neutral conclusion. The ultimate predictive value of high Killips class on NOAF r...

Description
Summary:Background: Recent observational studies have shown that patients with higher Killips score (〉Ⅰ) have higher risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), while others drew a neutral conclusion. The ultimate predictive value of high Killips class on NOAF remained obscure. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register Databases were searched until February 2015. Of the 3732 initially identified studies, 5 observational studies with 10,053 patients were analyzed. Results: The meta-analysis of these studies showed that higher Killips score on admission was associated with higher incidence of NOAF following AMI (odds ratio 2.29, 95% confidence intcrwd 1.96 2.67, P 〈 0.00001 ), while no significant differences exist among individual trials (P =0.14 and I^2= 43%). Conclusions: Killips class 〉I was associated with the higher opportunity of developing NOAF following AMI.
