We studied the ability of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in predicting mortality among 86 in-patients with severe acute malnutrition presenting with co-morbidity, and found that cut-off level of BNP ≥201 pg/mL in Receiver operating characteristics curve [AU-ROC 0.96 (95% CI 0.92,1.003, P<0.0001)] had high discriminative ability to distinguish between survivors and non-survivors.
我们研究了 B 型利钠肽(BNP)在预测 86 名伴有合并症的严重急性营养不良住院患者死亡率方面的能力,发现受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)中 BNP 截断值≥201pg/mL(AU-ROC 0.96 [95%CI 0.92,1.003,P<0.0001)]具有较高的区分力,能够区分存活者和非存活者。
