ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Recent observational studies have shown that patients with higher Killips score (>I) have higher risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), while others drew a neutral conclusion. The ultimate predictive value of high Killips class on NOAF remained obscure.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register Databases were searched until February 2015. Of the 3732 initially identified studies, 5 observational studies with 10,053 patients were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The meta-analysis of these studies showed that higher Killips score on admission was associated with higher incidence of NOAF following AMI (odds ratio = 2.29, 95% confidence interval 1.96-2.67, P < 0.00001), while no significant differences exist among individual trials (P = 0.14 and I2 = 43%).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Killips class >I was associated with the higher opportunity of developing NOAF following AMI.</p>
