    The study evaluated the NT-proBNP/ALB ratio as a predictor of in-hospital pericardial effusion in young adults with acute myocardial infarction.

  • 2

    In-hospital pericardial effusion occurred in 7.1% of the 1,974 young AMI patients studied.

  • 3

    Multivariate analysis identified lg (NT-proBNP/ALB) and plateletcrit as independent risk factors for in-hospital pericardial effusion.

  • 4

    Incorporating lg (NT-proBNP/ALB) and plateletcrit into a clinical model improved the Area Under the Curve from 0.718 to 0.849.

  • 5

    The study suggests that the NT-proBNP/ALB ratio and plateletcrit provide incremental value for early risk stratification in young AMI patients.
