At the same time, in a study by Zhou et al. [29] the serum NT-proBNP concentration > 2002.5 pg/ml on the first days of life was predictive for the development of moderate/severe BPD or death with 87.5% sensitivity and 74.7% specificity (AUC = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.79–0.91). The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
