“…Two studies had no data on preprocedural NT-proBNP levels. The foregoing studies were all excluded, and six observational studies [6][7][8][9]16,17] were finally included in our meta-analysis ( Figure 1). As a result, a total of 5861 patients were involved in our review: 438 in the new-onset AF group, and 5423 in the no-AF group.…”

“…We subsequently performed sensitivity analyses in order to identify the origin of this heterogeneity [12]. As shown in Figure 3, after excluding the studies by Dorje et al [16] and Hwang et al [9] the heterogeneity test showed no significant effects on the results (p ¼ 0.66; I 2 ¼ 0%), whereas the SMD in the NT-proBNP levels between the patients with and without AF was 0.42 units (95% CI 0.31-0.52), the z-score for overall effect was 7.66 (p < 0.00001).…”

“…Though interesting, the clinical utility of this association is uncertain as the authors separated the values into deciles, but did not provide the actual values for these deciles. Two single site studies listed in Table 2 also found a correlation between NAF and higher levels of BNP [59, 60], however, this could be confounded by the fact that AF tends to occur in sicker patients rather than AF leading directly to worse outcomes.…”
