Key result
Preoperative NT-proBNP level was identified as a significant predictor of postoperative optimal clinical outcome in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery (P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Does preoperative NT-proBNP measurement predict immediate postoperative clinical outcome in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery?
Cohort (n=75)
Does preoperative NT-proBNP measurement predict immediate postoperative clinical outcome in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery?
p-value: p=<0.001
Preoperative NT-proBNP levels correlate with disease severity and predict optimal immediate postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery.

Preoperative NT-proBNP may inform risk stratification in mitral valve surgery; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Perreas et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Mitral valve disease (n=75). Preoperative NT-proBNP was evaluated on Postoperative optimal clinical outcome (p=<0.001). Preoperative NT-proBNP level was identified as a significant predictor of postoperative optimal clinical outcome in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery (P < 0.001).
