NT-Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Infants with Failure to Thrive due to Caloric Deprivation
Figure 1
N-BNP values are illustrated as box and whiskers. The horizontal lines in the box plots reflect median value; the boxes reflect the 25th and 75th perecentile and the whiskers represent the maximum and minimum values: reference values from the literature [3], 23 healthy infants between 2 and 12 month, 15 infants with FTT, and 11 infants with severe HF. N-BNP values are on y-axis (log-scale). In comparison to the healthy infants the P-value of the CD group is high significant () and the -value of the HF group in comparison to the CD group is not significant ().
