Individual components of the primary endpoint. Among the individual components of the composite morbidity endpoint, significantly higher cumulative event rates of A acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), B acute kidney injury, and C any bacterial infection were observed in patients with preoperative NT-proBNP > 450 pg/ml. Although the incidence of D any rehospitalisation was comparable among groups, there was a higher rate of E cardiac rehospitalisation in patients with NT-proBNP > 450 pg/ml. However, F overall mortality at postoperative 30 remained comparable among groups. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05; n.s. = not significant
