Abstract:
: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.
