Resumen:
Objectives We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine if pre-operative brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (i.e., BNP or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP]) is an independent predictor of 30-day adverse cardiovascular outcomes after noncardiac surgery. Background Pre-operative clinical cardiac risk indices have only modest predictive power. BNP predicts adverse cardiovascular outcomes in a variety of nonsurgical settings and may similarly predict these outcomes in the perioperative setting. Methods We employed 5 search strategies (e. g., searching bibliographic databases), and we included all studies that assessed the independent prognostic value of pre-operative BNP measurement as a predictor of cardiovascular complications after noncardiac surgery. We determined study eligibility and conducted data abstraction independently and in duplicate. We calculated a pooled odds ratio using a random effects model. Results Nine studies met eligibility criteria, and included a total of 3,281 patients, among whom 314 experienced 1 or more perioperative cardiovascular complications. The average proportion of patients with elevated BNP was 24.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 20.1 to 30.4%; I-2 = 89%). All studies showed a statistically significant association between an elevated pre-operative BNP level and various cardiovascular outcomes (e. g., a composite of cardiac death and nonfatal myocardial infarction; atrial fibrillation). Data pooled from 7 studies demonstrated an odds ratio (OR) of 19.3 (95% CI: 8.5 to 43.7; I-2 = 58%). The pre-operative BNP measurement was an independent predictor of perioperative cardiovascular events among studies that only considered the outcomes of death, cardiovascular death, or myocardial infarction (OR: 44.2, 95% CI: 7.6 to 257.0, I-2 = 51.6%), and those that included other outcomes (OR: 14.7, 95% CI: 5.7 to 38.2, I-2 = 62.2%); the p value for interaction was 0.28. Conclusions These results suggest that an elevated pre-operative BNP or NT-proBNP measurement is a powerful, independent predictor of cardiovascular events in the first 30 days after noncardiac surgery.
