Y Bai, BL Hu, HC Wen, YL Zhang, JJ Zhu - Journal of critical care, 2018 - Elsevier
Purpose The aim of this meta-analysis was to clarify the diagnostic role of plasma BNP and
NT-proBNP in predicting mortality for septic patients. Methods A systematic review was
conducted prior to January 2018. Summary sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio
(PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR) and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of the prognostic
value of plasma BNP and NT-proBNP for septic patients. The area under the receiver
operating curves (AUROC) were used to summarize overall test performance. Results …
