HIGH LEVEL OF BLOOD UREA NITROGEN IS A SIGNIFICANT PREDICTOR FOR IN-HOSPITAL MORTALITY IN PATIENT WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFRACTION

In multivariate analysis, high level of BUN was one of the significant predictors for in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.04, p=0.02), while serum creatinine was not demonstrated as a significant predictor (adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.91-1.16, p=0...

Summary:In multivariate analysis, high level of BUN was one of the significant predictors for in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.04, p=0.02), while serum creatinine was not demonstrated as a significant predictor (adjusted OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.91-1.16, p=0.59).
