Popis: Introduction: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is common after surgery for esophageal cancer and may prolong hospitalization and elevate mortality. POAF and hypomagnesemia are linked, but this is based on studies showing an association of POAF with serum total magnesium (tMg). In contrast, the relationship of POAF with ionized magnesium (iMg), which has physiological activity, has not been examined. In this study, the association between hypomagnesemia and POAF was investigated retrospectively to examine iMg as a possible predictive factor for POAF. Methods: The subjects were 151 patients who underwent right transthoracoabdominal subtotal esophagectomy at Saitama Medical Center between January 2011 and December 2020. The incidence of POAF and predictive factors were examined retrospectively. Perioperative predictive factors were subjected to univariate analysis, and items with P
