Plain-language summary
The aim of this study was to investigate whether preoperative B-type natriuretic peptides serves as an independent predictor of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) in abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair.

Exclusion criteria
. Ruptured AAA

. Insufficient medical records
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This study is looking at whether a blood test called BNP, measured before surgery, can predict heart injury after open aortic aneurysm repair — would getting my BNP level checked before my surgery be something you'd recommend regardless of whether I join this study?
2Since this is an observational study measuring something called MINS — myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery — does that mean I'd still receive the same standard surgical care, and the researchers would mainly just be collecting data from my blood tests and records?
3Given that the recruitment status for this trial is listed as unknown, is this study actually still enrolling patients at my hospital, and who would I contact to find out if it's still active?
4How common is myocardial injury after open AAA repair, and would being monitored for it as part of this study change how my care team would respond if my results showed a problem?
5Are there alternative approaches to my aortic aneurysm repair — such as an endovascular procedure instead of open surgery — that we should discuss before considering any study involvement, especially given the cardiac risks being studied here?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
