RESULTS: In 23 patients sinus rhythm persisted at 3 months. In the other 21 patients sinus rhythm was not achieved or its duration was less than 3 months. The model developed by GP failed to predict maintenance of sinus rhythm at 3 months in one patient and in six patients falsely predicted maintenance of sinus rhythm. Positive and negative likelihood ratios of the model for testing data were 4.32 and 0.05, respectively. Using this model 15 of 21 (71.4per cent) cardioversions not resulting in sinus rhythm at 3 months would have been avoided, whereas 22 of 23 (95.6per cent) cardioversions resulting in sinus rhythm at 3 months would have been administered.
CONCLUSION: This model developed by GP, including clinical data, ECG data from the time-domain and nonlinear dynamics can predict maintenance of sinus rhythm. Further research is needed to explore its utility in the present or an expanded form.",
