Cystatin C–based CKD‐EPI Equations and N‐Terminal Pro‐B‐Type Natriuretic Peptide for Predicting Outcomes in Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure

ConclusionsIn patients with ADHF, the combination of NT‐proBNP with estimated GFR using CysC‐based CKD‐EPI equations better predicts outcomes than either parameter alone and adds valuable complementary prognosis information to other established risk factors.
