We developed multivariable Cox regression models to predict outcome incidence after AF diagnosis, using 70% of the data for derivation and 30% for validation. Model performance was assessed using Harrell\u2019s c-index. Predictor variables were selected based on their availability in routine clinical practice. Among the assessed predictors, excessive alcohol intake, HF, MI, sepsis, and stroke showed the strongest associations with adverse outcomes. The prediction models demonstrated fair to moderate discrimination, with c-index values of 0.70 (95% CI 0.70\u20130.71) for HF hospitalization, 0.64 (95% CI 0.63\u20130.65) for MI hospitalization, 0.76 (95% CI 0.75\u20130.77) for vascular dementia, 0.66 (95% CI 0.65\u20130.67) for sepsis, 0.65 (95% CI 0.62\u20130.68) for SCD, and 0.71 (95% CI 0.71\u20130.71) for all-cause death.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients with AF, we developed prediction models that demonstrate fair to good performance.
