Text: In a multivariable Cox regression model, NT-proBNP above the median of 339 pg/mL was independently associated with an increased risk of the primary end point of all-cause mortality and prespecified cardiovascular hospitalizations (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1. 79 ; 95 % CI, 1. 56 to 2. 10 ; P < 0. 001) ; all-cause mortality (adjusted HR, 2. 04 ; 95 % CI, 1. 68 to 2. 47 ; P < 0. 001) ; and a composite of HF events, including death due to worsening HF or sudden death or hospitalization due to worsening HF (adjusted HR, 1. 77 ; 95 % CI, 1. 43 to 2. 20 ; P < 0. 001).
