Background Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication that may increase morbidity and mortality risk following cardiac surgery. Recent studies have reported associations between elevated SII and increased POAF risk; however, significant heterogeneity exists regarding its predictive efficacy.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder in clinical practice. It worsens the quality of life of patients, leads to an increase in the mortality rate because of its association with a high risk of thromboembolic complications. However, most research in this area has focused on hospital patients.
