Clinical implication of NT-proBNP to predict mortality in patients with acute type A aortic dissection: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease commonly seen in emergency department, resulting in substantial mortality and morbidity. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) among this critically ill population.

Design

The design of this study was a retrospective cohort study.

Setting

The study population was recruited in the Emergency Department of Fuwai hospital in China from 2018 to 2020.

Participants

We consecutively enrolled 829 patients with acute type A aortic dissection and measurable baseline NT-proBNP.

Primary outcome

The primary endpoint was 1-year all-cause death.

Results

Based on tertiles of NT-proBNP (pg/mL), patients were stratifi
