Key result
Preoperative NT-proBNP shows no link to postoperative complications or mortality after elective off-pump CABG.
Why the study?
Studies assessing the association between preoperative natriuretic peptide levels and adverse outcomes following cardiac surgery have yielded diversely variable results.
Does preoperative NT-proBNP level predict adverse outcomes in patients undergoing elective off-pump CABG?
Observational (n=65)
Does preoperative NT-proBNP level predict adverse outcomes in patients undergoing elective off-pump CABG?
p-value: p=>0.05
Preoperative NT-proBNP levels did not significantly predict postoperative complications or in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing elective off-pump CABG.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
NT-proBNP adds no predictive value for elective off-pump CABG outcomes; leaves open its role in other populations or combined risk models.
Abdel-Aleem et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Elective off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (n=65). Preoperative NTproBNP levels was evaluated on Postoperative complications or in-hospital mortality (p=>0.05). Preoperative NTproBNP levels showed no significant correlation with postoperative complications or in-hospital mortality following elective off-pump CABG (P > 0.05).
