The phrase "a bnp of" is not correct and does not make sense in written English.
It appears to be a typographical error or an incomplete phrase, and without context, it cannot be used appropriately.
Example: "I need a bnp of information to complete my report." (Note: "bnp" is unclear and likely incorrect.)
Alternatives: "a batch of" or "a set of".
Initial laboratory studies revealed a BNP of 2,511 pg/mL.
Initial laboratory studies revealed a BNP of 101 pg/mL and a negative troponin I level.
Those patients with a history of CHF but a current diagnosis of pulmonary disease had a BNP of 98 ± 47 pg/ml.
We found 90% specificity for ALI/ARDS at a BNP of 157 or less; however, the corresponding sensitivity was only 30%, resulting in a positive likelihood ratio of 3.2 but a negative likelihood ratio of only 0.77.
In this study, a BNP of >500 pg/mL was considered to be diagnostic of heart failure, <100 pg/mL excluded heart failure, and 100 500 pg/mL had to be combined with clinical judgement [ 128].
Mueller et al. similarly identified that a BNP of 100 pg/mL had a similar predictive value for the detection of congestive heart failure in patients who present to the emergency department dyspneic with a history of COPD, asthma, pneumonia, or PE [ 128].
The patient was admitted to a local hospital, where she was found to have acute biventricular CHF with a left ventricular EF of 14% and a BNP level of 34,000 pg/mL.
In IFS2 those in the top quintile of the BNP distribution had a BNP value of 27 pg/ml or more, the equivalent value for the PRIME study being 34 pg/ml.
A BNP concentration of 299 ng/l at the end of the SBT identified weaning failure with 92% sensitivity and 87% specificity, resulting in an area under the curve value of 0.91 (95% CI (0.86 to 0.97), P < 0.001).
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis shown in Figure 3 demonstrated significantly lower survival for subjects with peak BNP level of ≥ 220 pg/ml After controlling for age, sex, and BPD severity, multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling showed that a BNP level of ≥ 220 pg/ml independently increased the likelihood of death (hazard ratio 5.1, 95% CI 1.1 to 22.4, P = 0.03).
A BNP level of >100 ng/L was used to identify potential cases of HF.
