Predicting prognosis using stroke-heart indicator: brain natriuretic peptide in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to explore the correlation between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and prognosis in patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Methods

This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) at Beijing Tiantan Hospital between January 2015 and September 2021. Plasma BNP levels were measured upon admission and log-transformed to reduce skewness. Elevated BNP was defined as lgBNP ≥1.79 (equivalent to BNP ≥62 pg./mL). The primary outcome was poor prognosis, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥ 3 at 90 days. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the association between BNP levels and prognosis. Additionally, we assessed t
