However, the association between preoperative NT-proBNP level and postoperative AKI in surgeries managed with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) strategy requires further clarification.Objective To explore the association between preoperative NT-proBNP and the incidence of postoperative AKI in patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgeries and managed with ERAS strategy.Design A retrospective cohort study.Setting A review of documented cases of elective gastrointestinal surgeries managed with ERAS strategy occurred at Xijing Hospital from 01 May 2017 to 30 June 2022.Participants A total of 629 patients aged 18 years or older who were scheduled for elective gastrointestinal surgeries and subjected to the ERAS strategy with preoperative NT-proBNP and creatinine measurements were included in the analysis.Exposure Preoperative serum concentrations of NT-proBNP.Main outcomes and measures The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative AKI. Preoperative NT-proBNP was divided into high- or low-level groups based on the median (165 pg/ml). Logistic regression was used to explore the association between increased preoperative NT-proBNP level and risk of AKI.Results After screening 1932 case records, 629 cases were included in the final analyses. The average age was 63.5 (15.3) years old and 197 (31.3%) of them were female. Among them, 112 (17.8%) developed postoperative AKI. The incidence of AKI was 21% in the high NT-proBNP group, and 14.6% in the low NT-proBNP group. Patients with higher preoperative NT-proBNP levels (≥ 165 pg/mL) have significant higher risk of postoperative AKI as compared to those in the lower group (adjusted OR 1.75; 95% CI 1.12 to 2.73).Conclusions and relevance Increased preoperative NT-proBNP is associated with an elevated risk of postoperative AKI in patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery and managed with ERAS strategy.Trial registry number Clinical trial registry number: NCT06145347.</p>","PeriodicalId":19764,"journal":{"name":"Perioperative Medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":"45"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12016297/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144022922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
