Liver transplantation and atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis

Figure 1 Outline of our search methodology.

Figure 2 Forest plots of the included studies assessing prevalence of pre-existing atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing liver transplantation. AF: Atrial fibrillation.

Figure 3 Forest plots of the included studies assessing incidence of atrial fibrillation following liver transplantation. AF: Atrial fibrillation.

Figure 4 Meta-regression analysis showed no significant correlations between year of study and prevalence of pre-existing atrial fibrillation (P = 0. 08).

Figure 5 Meta-regression analysis showed no significant correlations between year of study and incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation after liver transplantation (P = 0. 54).
