Usefulness of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in patients admitted to the intensive care unit: A multicenter prospective observational study

The role of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) as a prognostic factor in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) is not yet fully established. We aimed to determine whether NT-pro-BNP is predictive of ICU mortality in a multicenter cohort of critically ill patients.
