RESOURCES

The VISION NT-proBNP risk calculator

The VISION NT-proBNP risk calculator can be used clinically to estimate patient’s risk of postoperative major cardiac complications and death at 30 days after inpatient noncardiac surgery. The calculator combines the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) risk factors and preoperative NT-proBNP values to provide risk estimates. The calculator was derived from a cohort of 10,402 adults, 45 years or older, undergoing in-hospital noncardiac surgery in 16 hospitals from 9 countries. It is the largest single prospective cohort study to assess preoperative NT-proBNP for cardiac risk stratification in noncardiac surgery. Original publication: Duceppe et al. Ann Int Med. 2020 Jan 21;172(2):96-104.  doi: 10.7326/M19-2501.
