CLINICAL PROFILE AND CORRELATION OF SERUM BNP LEVEL AT ADMISSION WITH ICU STAY DURATION IN PATIENTS OF ACUTE DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILURE

Abstract :

BACKGROUNDS: Serum BNP levels have been established for diagnosis of HF in proportion to severity of symptoms, degree of LV dysfunction with other comorbidity and predict morbidity and mortality in HF pts. Methods: A Case series descriptive study of 50 patients admitted in ICU of HSK Hospital, Bagalkot in duration of 3 months of study period with HF (according to symptoms and LV dysfunction) and perform spot test of serum BNP level(reference value >100pg/ml) and correlate with pts ICU stay duration. Results: Study comprised of 50 HF pts. In this study mean age of 63 yr pts and their association distribution with BNP level was 1100 pg/ml and 4 days of mean ICU stay by using Pearson Chi–Square test (X2–0.996b). High level of BNP with other comorbities also prolong the duration of ICU stay. • Conclusion: This Study shows that in patients with heart failure, raise BNP level is associated with long ICU stay in hospital. So, it can use as predictor for in hospital treatment. Further this Study shows possibility of associated complications with various comorbidities in heart failure • patients, who had raised BNP levels. So, it can use as a prognostic indicator.
