Objective
To compare in-hospital mortality in unselected adult patients according to N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels.
Method
Retrospective study including 3833 adult patients (median age 72 years, 45% women) hospitalized between January 2013 and April 2015 in a Swiss university hospital, with at least one NT-proBNP level measurement during hospitalization. Patients were categorized in quintiles regarding their highest NT-proBNP level. In-hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS) were compared between the highest and the other quintiles.
Results
In-hospital mortality rate and LOS (average?standard deviation) were higher in the fifth quintile than in the others (6.5% vs 20.3%, and 20.8?24.0 vs. 14.9?26.5 days respectively, both p ................
