From: Brain natriuretic peptide to predict successful liberation from mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Fig. 5

Pooled diagnostic AUC either ∆BNP or ∆BNP% methods of measurements in studies that excluded SBT failure (group 2) from liberation failure analysis. These figures illustrate the individual AUC obtained from the studies for each method of DBNP and DBNP% measurements separately. Only studies that excluded SBT failure (group 2) in liberation failure analysis were included to provide more precise data of a specific clinical subgroup. The pooled AUC for DBNP% showed a high AUC with low heterogeneity. The pooled AUC for DBNP showed a high AUC and high heterogeneity but is limited by the inclusion of only 2 studies in the analysis
