Although major non-cardiac surgery is common, few large-scale studies have examined the incidence and consequences of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in this population. We sought to define the incidence of POAF and its impact on outcomes after major non-cardiac surgery. Using administrative data, we retrospectively reviewed the hospital course of adults who underwent major non-cardiac surgery at 375 US hospitals over a 1-year period. Clinically significant POAF was defined as atrial fibrillation occurring during hospitalization that necessitated therapy. Of 370447 patients, 10957 (3.0%) developed clinically significant POAF while hospitalized. Of patients with POAF, 7355 (67%) appeared to have pre-existing atrial fibrillation and 3602 (33%) had newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation. Black patients had a lower risk of POAF (Adjusted Odds Ratio, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.59; P<0.001). Patients with POAF had higher mortality (Adjusted Odds Ratio, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.59 to 1.86; P<0.001), markedly longer length of stay (Adjusted Relative Difference, +24.0%; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], +21.5% to +26.5%; P<0.001), and higher costs (Adjusted Difference, +$4177; 95% CI, +$3764 to + $4590; P<0.001). These findings did not differ by whether POAF was a recurrence of pre-existing atrial fibrillation, or a new diagnosis. POAF following non-cardiac surgery is not uncommon and is associated with increased mortality and cost. Our study identifies risk factors for POAF, which appear to include race. Strategies are needed to not only prevent new POAF, but also improve management of patients with pre-existing atrial fibrillation.
