Septicemia and mortality after noncardiac surgery associated with CHA2DS2-VASc score: a retrospective cohort study based on a real-world database

Abstract Background Little was know about the association between CHA2DS2-VASc score and postoperative outcomes. Our purpose is to evaluate effects of on perioperative outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods We identified 47,402 AF over age 20 years who underwent noncardiac surgeries 2008 2013 from claims data National Health Insurance Taiwan. The used complications, mortality consumption medical resources by calculating adjusted odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Compared a 0, scores ≥ 5 had an increased risk septicemia (OR 2.76, CI 2.00–3.80), intensive care 2.55, 2.12–3.06), 2.04, 1.14–3.64). There significant positive correlation complication (P < 0.0001). Conclusion highly associated septicemia, care, 30-day among patients. Cardiologists surgical teams may consider using outcome risks AF.
