BNP and NT-proBNP are viewed as comparable in their ability to diagnose and monitor HF in clinical guidelines. However, no recent large-scale study has directly established diagnostic concordance between BNP and NT-proBNP. This study sought to assess diagnostic concordance of BNP and NT-proBNP for ruling in and ruling out heart failure (HF).
Simultaneous BNP and NT-proBNP testing was performed on 2729 patient samples with routinely ordered BNP testing. Hospital location, age, sex, creatinine, BNP and NT-proBNP were also recorded. Recommended cutoffs for BNP and NT-proBNP for ruling in and out HF were used for assessing diagnostic concordance and correlation.
In the ED setting, concordance between BNP and NT-proBNP was 0.695 (95% CI, 0.668-0.723) by weighted kappa using the recommended cutoffs for the acute setting. In non-ED patients, the concordance was 0.642 (95% CI, 0.580-0.705) using non-acute setting cutoffs. In the ED setting, patients with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m had lower overall concordance (0.626; 95% CI 0.580-0.672) compared to those with eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73m (0.707, 95% CI 0.669-0.744). Patients with an eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m had a much higher ratio of NT-proBNP to BNP than patients with eGFR >60 mL/min/1.73m (17.0 vs. 4.7, P < .001). Linear regression revealed an r of 0.52 in the ED setting and 0.49 in the non-ED setting between BNP and NT-proBNP. For 368 patients with multiple measurements of natriuretic peptides, 19.7% of paired temporal measurements had an increase in one peptide and a decrease in the other.
The current cutoffs for diagnosing HF for NT-proBNP and BNP have relatively low diagnostic concordance and correlation, particularly among patients with chronic kidney disease.
在临床指南中,B型利钠肽(BNP)和N末端B型利钠肽原(NT-proBNP)在诊断和监测心力衰竭(HF)的能力方面被视为具有可比性。然而,最近尚无大规模研究直接证实BNP和NT-proBNP之间的诊断一致性。本研究旨在评估BNP和NT-proBNP在诊断心力衰竭(HF)时的诊断一致性。
对2729例接受常规BNP检测的患者样本同时进行BNP和NT-proBNP检测。记录医院位置、年龄、性别、肌酐、BNP和NT-proBNP。使用推荐的BNP和NT-proBNP诊断HF的临界值来评估诊断一致性和相关性。
在急诊室环境中,使用急性环境推荐的临界值,通过加权kappa法得出BNP和NT-proBNP之间的一致性为0.695(95%CI,0.668-0.723)。在非急诊患者中,使用非急性环境临界值时,一致性为0.642(95%CI,0.580-0.705)。在急诊室环境中,估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)<60 mL/min/1.73m²的患者总体一致性(0.626;95%CI 0.580-0.672)低于eGFR>60 mL/min/1.73m²的患者(0.707,95%CI 0.669-0.744)。eGFR<15 mL/min/1.73m²的患者NT-proBNP与BNP的比值比eGFR>60 mL/min/1.73m²的患者高得多(17.0对4.7,P<0.001)。线性回归显示,在急诊室环境中BNP和NT-proBNP之间的r为0.52,在非急诊环境中为0.49。对于368例多次测量利钠肽的患者,19.7%的配对时间测量结果显示一种肽增加而另一种肽减少。
目前用于诊断HF的NT-proBNP和BNP临界值具有相对较低的诊断一致性和相关性,尤其是在慢性肾脏病患者中。
