Univariate analyses showed that NT-proBNP >1,800 pg/ml, hs-cTnT ≧40 pg/ml, LC only isotype, and concomitant presence of cardiac amyloidosis were independently associated with shorter OS, while NT-proBNP >1,800 pg/ml still retained the prognostic value for OS in multivariate analyses. Here, NPPB is linked to laryngotracheoesophageal cleft.
