Pooled diagnostic AUC of either BNP-pre or BNP-post methods of measurement in studies that included SBT failure (group 1) and 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 individual measures of BNP separately (BNP-pre and BNP-post). Both studies that included SBT failure (group 1) and excluded SBT failure (group 2) in liberation failure analysis were included to increase statistical power. The pooled AUC for BNP-pre showed a moderatehigh AUC with high heterogeneity. The pooled AUC for BNP-post showed a high AUC and low heterogeneity
