NT-proCNP assay demonstrated more consistent and reliable data and should therefore be preferred for usage in clinical applications. Nevertheless, as recommended for ANP and BNP, immunoassays for CNP should also be standardized or harmonized in the future....
In another study, poor stroke outcome was also associated with IL-6 (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4-4.2) and Ln NT pro BNP (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2-4.0) [58]. However, neither IL-6 nor Ln NT pro-BNP were able to improve upon outcome prediction achieved by the NIHSS score and age alone (c...
We compared IL-1 RL1 DBS with blood plasma levels using Pearson linear correlation and Bland-Altman agreement plots. NT-proBNP DBS assay methods have been described previously.20We applied logistic regression to estimate the risk outcome of the diagnostic test by modeling the log-odds of results ...
NT-proBNP resulted to be a stronger prognostic marker than ECG and its dosage has been proposed as first test for the CV stratification instead of ECG [103]. Predictive value of elevated BNP levels on mortality has been tested also in several clinical scenarios different from CVD, such as chr...
3 To test this hypothesis, we set RDW as the exposure, a specific protein as the mediator, and all-cause mortality as the outcome and used the mediation analysis approach proposed by Valeri and VanderWeele.12,13 We examined (i) the direct association between RDW and all-cause mortality ...
Methods: With the help of an anonymous questionnaire for members of the nurse's staff, about the treatment according to Likert scale, and a knowledge test with four optional answers, to examine their knowledge on this subject. Results: We found that among the new staff members (0–2 years ...
elevated systolic blood pressures near the time of dyspnea onset, cardiomegaly, and/or increased circulating levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal (NT)-pro-BNP support a diagnosis of TACO rather than TRALI (Popovsky2009; Zhou et al.2005; Tobian et al.2008; Li et al.2009...
Venous blood samples were drawn under standardized conditions after 20 min of rest in supine position. Samples were immediately cooled, centrifuged, and processed for storage at − 80 °C (− 112 °F). N-terminal pro–brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was analyzed with the Elecsys...
