New-Onset POAF After Craniotomy: Impact on Neurological Outcome, ICU Utilization, and Mortality

Newly detected POAF is associated with a higher-risk postoperative profile in neurosurgical patients. It clusters with greater comorbidity burden, more invasive and urgent procedures, increased complications, prolonged hospitalization, reduced likelihood of discharge home, and higher short-term mortality. These findings support further evaluation of rhythm surveillance and perioperative management strategies in higher-risk neurosurgical populations.

Abstract

Newly detected POAF is associated with a higher-risk postoperative profile in neurosurgical patients. It clusters with greater comorbidity burden, more invasive and urgent procedures, increased complications, prolonged hospitalization, reduced likelihood of discharge home, and higher short-term mortality. These findings support further evaluation of rhythm surveillance and perioperative management strategies in higher-risk neurosurgical populations.
