Why the study?
Does NT-proBNP measurement correlate with survival and clinical conditions such as sepsis and cardiac dysfunction in critically ill patients?
Does NT-proBNP measurement correlate with survival and clinical conditions such as sepsis and cardiac dysfunction in critically ill patients?
NT-proBNP is significantly elevated in critically ill patients, primarily driven by sepsis and cardiac dysfunction, and correlates with mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
NT-proBNP elevation associates with mortality in critically ill patients; leaves open whether it adds prognostic value beyond sepsis and cardiac dysfunction.
Rhodes et al. (2004) studied this question.
