Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), associated with increased morbidity and healthcare costs. Existing POAF prediction models, developed mainly for Western populations, may not account for genetic, lifestyle, and...
