Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do natriuretic peptide levels taken following unplanned admission to a cardiology department predict the duration of hospitalization?
Answer: The results quantify the strong relationship between NP levels taken following an unplanned admission to a cardiology department and the duration of hospitalization. This information permits improved identification of a patient population likely to require a prolonged hospital stay and consume more healthcare resources. Such patients may require a more aggressive diagnostic, treatment, and management strategy.
