  •   Objective  To explore the risk factors for atrial fibrillation in adult patients with critically severe burns after the first surgery.  Methods  This study was a retrospective case series study. From January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2023, 211 adult patients with critically severe burns were admitted to the Department of Burns of Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital and met the inclusion criteria, including 158 males and 53 females, aged 24-81 years. According to whether atrial fibrillation occurred after the first surgery, the patients were divided into postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) group (23 cases) and non-POAF group (188 cases). The following indexes of patients in POAF group were collected, including the onset time, duration, treatment method, and number of patients with more than once of atrial fibrillation after the first surgery. The following data of the two groups of patients were collected, including general data, such as gender, age, burn type, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, inhalation injury, underlying diseases, mechanical ventilation, and sepsis; electrolyte imbalance and blood index level before the first surgery; the first surgery-related information such as surgical length and surgical method; volume changes and vital signs during the first surgery, such as total volume of fluid infusion, total volume of blood transfusion, volume of blood loss, hypotension, and hypothermia; postoperative hypothermia; inflammatory index levels before the first surgery and on the first day after the first surgery, such as procalcitonin levels, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet count to lymphocyte ratio (PLR); mortality within 30 days of admission. The independent risk factors for occurrence of atrial fibrillation in adult patients with critically severe burns after the first surgery were screened.  Results  The onset time of atrial fibrillation of patients in POAF group was 2 (2, 4) hours after the first surgery, and the duration of atrial fibrillation was 16 (6, 26) hours. Twenty-one patients were treated with intravenous injection of amiodarone, two patients were treated with cardiac electrical cardioversion, and atrial fibrillation of all patients converted to sinus rhythm after treatment. Three patients experienced atrial fibrillation more than once. The age was 59 (42, 70) years and the total burn area was 90% (70%, 94%) total body surface area (TBSA) in patients in POAF group, which were significantly higher than 48 (38, 56) years and 70% (60%, 83%) TBSA in non-POAF group (with Z values of -2.64 and -3.56, respectively, P<0.05). Compared with those in non-POAF group, the incidence rate of inhalation injury of patients in POAF group was significantly higher (χ2=4.45, P<0.05), the total volumes of fluid infusion and blood transfusion during the first surgery were significantly increased (with Z values of -3.98 and -3.75, respectively, P<0.05), the incidence rates of hypothermia during the first surgery and hypothermia after the first surgery were significantly increased (with χ2 values of 8.24 and 18.72, respectively, P<0.05), the levels of procalcitonin before the first surgery and on the first day after the first surgery, as well as the NLR on the first day after the first surgery were significantly increased (with Z values of -3.03, -2.19, and -2.18, respectively, P<0.05), the lymphocyte count (with Z values of -2.07 and -2.60, respectively, P<0.05) and platelet count (with Z values of -3.35 and -3.58, respectively, P<0.05) were significantly reduced before the first surgery and on the first day after the first surgery, and the mortality rate within 30 days of admission was significantly higher (χ2=4.03, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other indexes between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, total burn area, and intraoperative hypothermia were independent risk factors for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in adult patients with critically severe burns after the first surgery (with odds ratios of 1.08, 1.07, and 4.18, 95% confidence intervals of 1.03-1.12, 1.03-1.11, and 1.48-11.80, respectively, P<0.05).  Conclusions  Age, total burn area, and intraoperative hypothermia are independent risk factors for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in adult patients with critically severe burns after the first surgery. Patients with atrial fibrillation have an increased risk of death.
