The Prognostic Value of Pre-Operative and Post-Operative B-Type Natriuretic Peptides in Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and N-Terminal Fragment of Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide: A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to determine whether measuring post-operative B-type natriuretic peptides (NPs) (i.e., B-type natriuretic peptide [BNP] and N-terminal fragment of proBNP [NT-proBNP]) enhances risk stratification in adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery, in whom a pre-operative NP has been measured.
BACKGROUND: Pre-operative NP concentrations are powerful independent predictors of perioperative cardiovascular …
