Cystatin C–based <scp>CKD‐EPI</scp> Equations and N‐Terminal Pro‐B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide for Predicting Outcomes in Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure

Abstract

In patients with ADHF, the combination of NT-proBNP with estimated GFR using CysC-based CKD-EPI equations better predicts outcomes than either parameter alone and adds valuable complementary prognosis information to other established risk factors.
