281 A Knowledge Chasm: Preoperative Mental Illness Impact on New Onset Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To date, no reviews have been published combining the topics of pre-operative mental illness and postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). For adult cardiac surgical procedures, therefore, this scoping review provides an overview of the published evidence for this novel topic. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A combination of MESH terms and text words were used to capture all papers analyzing any risk factors for atrial fibrillation development after any cardiovascular surgery, and thus, 4,203 search results were initially identified. Papers were manually screened for relevance, resulting in 69 articles that analyzed risk factors associated with POAF. As a separate analytical step, all included publications were used to identify additional citations and Web of Science PubMed identification number-based (i.e., PMID) specific backwards citation searches were performed to ensure comprehensive coverage. For each of the three articles analyzed, moreover, these PMIDs were further evaluated using individual google scholar searches to assure no other relevant literature was inadvertently found. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: For the 69 relevant articles found with multivariable risk models predicting new onset POAF during this scoping review, a wide variety of patient risk factors were reported. The statistically significant predictors reported for new POAF included age (57 papers), hypertension (22 papers), tobacco use (15 papers), LVEF-related characteristics (14 papers), COPD (13 papers), and patient gender (13 papers). All other factors were found to be significant 10 times or fewer; importantly, no multivariable models evaluated mental illness-related factors as predictors of new onset POAF. Only 3 articles even considered the potential influence of mental illnesses. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Mentally ill patients have been documented to have increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and adverse cardiac outcomes, however, very few articles evaluated mental illness associations with POAF. This comprehensive review has demonstrated the urgent need for new research focused on mental illness impacts.
