Natriuretic Peptide System Activation in Acute Heart Failure Patients with Diabetes

Table 2

Influence of diabetes on admission and discharge BNP levels: linear regression analysis.

	Admission BNP		Discharge BNP
	β coefficient (95% CI)	value	β coefficient (95% CI)	value
Diabetes mellitus	−116.5 (−347.0; 114.0)	0.32	−103.2 (−302.2; 95.8)	0.31

Adjusted for body mass index, admission creatinine, and atrial fibrillation. BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide.
