Background NT-proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a frequently utilized test in congestive cardiac failure. There is little data on its utility in unselected emergency medical admissions. Aim This study aims to investigate the clinical utility and prognostic value of NT-proBNP in emergency medical admissions and to determine whether such testing influenced downstream investigations and length of stay (LOS). Methods We report on NT-proBNP tests performed in emergency medical admissions in a 2005/2006 and subsequent 7-year (2014–2020) retrospective cohort. We assessed 30-day in-hospital mortality with a multivariable logistic regression model. The utilization of procedures/services was related to LOS with zero-truncated Poisson regression. Results There were 64,212 admissions in 36,252 patients. Patients with a NT-proBNP test were significantly older at 75.3 years vs. 63.0 years and had longer LOS –9.4 days vs. 4.9 days. They had higher acute illness severity and comorbidity scores. Thirty-day in-hospital mortality was higher in those with a NT-proBNP test (8.8%) vs. no request (3.2%). NT-proBNP test level was prognostic in univariate — OR 2.87 (2.61, 3.15), and multivariate analyses — OR 1.40 (1.26, 1.56). Higher NT-proBNP levels predicted higher 30-day in-hospital mortality. Multivariable thirty-day in-hospital mortality was 3.8% (3.6%, 3.9%) for those without a test, increasing to 4.9% (4.7%, 5.2%) for ≥ 250 ng/L and 5.8% (5.8%, 6.3%) for ≥ 3000 ng/L. LOS was linearly related to the total number of procedures/services performed. Conclusion NT-proBNP is prognostic in emergency medical admissions. Downstream resource utilization differed following an NT-proBNP test; this may reflect different case complexity or the ‘uncertainty’ surrounding such admissions.
