List	Outcome	Time frame	Description
Primary	Incidence of Clinically Significant Chronic Poststernotomy Pain	Postoperative Day 90	The proportion of participants with clinically significant chronic poststernotomy pain on postoperative day 90 will be assessed. Clinically significant chronic poststernotomy pain will be defined as pain that develops after surgery or is aggravated by surgery; is localized to the sternotomy line, parasternal region, chest tube insertion sites, or thoracic wall area related to internal thoracic artery dissection; persists or recurs at 3 months after surgery; and has an average intensity of at least 3 on the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) during the preceding 7 days. Pain better explained by sternal wound infection, mediastinitis, sternal instability or nonunion, recurrent myocardial ischemia, malignancy, or another clinical condition will not be classified as chronic poststernotomy pain. The outcome will be assessed by an outcome assessor blinded to treatment allocation. Higher incidence indicates a less favorable outcome.
Secondary	Postoperative Pain Intensity at Rest	6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery and postoperative day 5, or at hospital discharge if discharge occurs before postoperative day 5	Pain intensity at rest will be assessed using the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Secondary	Postoperative Pain Intensity During Coughing or Deep Breathing	6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery and postoperative day 5, or at hospital discharge if discharge occurs before postoperative day 5	Pain intensity during coughing or deep breathing will be assessed using the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Secondary	Postoperative Pain Intensity During Mobilization	6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery and postoperative day 5, or at hospital discharge if discharge occurs before postoperative day 5	Pain intensity during mobilization will be assessed using the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity. Mobilization pain will be assessed only when mobilization is clinically feasible.
Secondary	Intraoperative Opioid Consumption	Intraoperative period	Total opioid consumption administered during surgery will be recorded and converted to morphine milligram equivalents (MME). Higher values indicate greater opioid consumption.
Secondary	Requirement for Rescue Analgesia	From the end of surgery through postoperative day 5 or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first	The proportion of participants requiring at least one rescue analgesic intervention will be recorded. The protocol-defined primary criterion for rescue analgesia is a score of 4 or higher on the 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest or during coughing or movement; rescue analgesia may also be administered according to clinical need irrespective of the NRS threshold.
Secondary	Number of Rescue Analgesic Administrations	From the end of surgery through postoperative day 5 or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first	The total number of rescue analgesic administrations received by each participant during the assessment period will be recorded. Higher values indicate greater rescue analgesic requirements.
Secondary	Time to First Rescue Analgesia	From the end of surgery through postoperative day 5 or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first	Time from the end of surgery to the first administration of rescue analgesia will be recorded in hours. Participants who do not require rescue analgesia during the observation period will be recorded as having no rescue analgesic event during that period.
Secondary	Incidence of Postoperative Nausea	From the end of surgery through 120 hours after surgery or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first	The proportion of participants experiencing at least one episode of postoperative nausea during the assessment period will be recorded.
Secondary	Incidence of Postoperative Oversedation	From the end of surgery through 5 days after surgery or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first	The proportion of participants experiencing at least one episode of clinically significant oversedation during the assessment period will be recorded. Oversedation will be defined as inability to be easily awakened, requirement for repeated stimulation, or sedation sufficiently severe to cause clinically significant impairment of communication.
