Key result
Preoperative BNP level strongly predicted postoperative atrial fibrillation following pulmonary resection for lung cancer (AUC 0.90; 95% CI 0.82-0.98; p<0.001).

May inform POAF risk stratification after lung resection; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Observational (n=80)
Do preoperative ANP and BNP levels predict postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for lung cancer?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.90 (95% CI 0.82-0.98)
p-value: p=<0.001
Preoperative BNP levels strongly predict the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for lung cancer.
Nojiri et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Lung cancer undergoing pulmonary resection (n=80). Preoperative BNP and ANP levels was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AUC 0.90, 95% CI 0.82-0.98, p=<0.001). Preoperative BNP level strongly predicted postoperative atrial fibrillation following pulmonary resection for lung cancer (AUC 0.90; 95% CI 0.82-0.98; p<0.001).
