In multivariable logistic regression analysis, including age, AF, UF rate, CAD, LVEF, and NT-proBNP (per 1000 pg/mL), only NT-proBNP remained an independent predictor of HF-related hospitalization (OR 1.07 per 1000 pg/mL, 95% CI 1.02–1.11, p = 0.005) (Table 8). Here, NPPB is linked to atrial fibrillation.
