Popis: Background: Infections increase the risk of poor outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, predicting patients at a high risk of developing infection remains unclear. Moreover, the value of N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for predicting infection is still unknown. Thus, we aimed to assess the relationship between NT-proBNP and the following development of infection, and clinical adverse outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI.Methods: STEMI patients undergoing PCI were consecutively enrolled from January 2010 to July 2016 and divided into groups according to baseline NT-proBNP levels: tertiles T1 (
