The ultimate predictive value of high Killips class on NOAF remained obscure. Methods： 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. Results： 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 intcrwd 1.96 2.67, P 〈 0.00001 ）, while no significant differences exist among individual trials （P =0.14 and I^2= 43%）. Conclusions： Killips class 〉I was associated with the higher opportunity of developing NOAF following AMI.展开更多
