Abstract

This systematic review with meta-analysis sought to determine the protective effects of corticosteroids on clinical outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Medline, Embase, Elsevier and Sciences online database as well as Google scholar literature were used for selecting appropriate studies with randomized controlled design. The effect sizes measured were odds ratio (OR) for categorical variables and weighted mean difference with 95% confidence interval (CI) for calculating differences between mean values of duration of hospitalization in intervention and control groups. Values of P < 0.1 for Q-test or I(2) > 50% indicated significant heterogeneity between the studies. The literature search of all major databases retrieved 3735 studies. After screening, a total of 45 trials were identified that reported outcomes. Pooled analysis was performed on incidence of atrial fibrillation (OR of 0.71; 95% CI: 0.59-0.86; P = 0.000), stroke (OR of 1.61; 95% CI: 0.63-4.1; P = 0.3), infection (OR of 1.03; 95% CI: 0.68-1.5; P = 0.8), re-infarction (OR of 0.88; 95% CI: 0.47-1.63; P = 0.6), length of ventilation time [weighted mean difference (WMD) of 0.257; 95% CI: 0.10-0.41; P = 0.00], length of hospital stay (WMD of -0.48; ...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
