BNP indicates brain natriuretic peptide; CI, confidence interval; CRF, chronic renal failure; CRP, C‐reactive protein; Hb, hemoglobin; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; HR, hazard ratio; Na, sodium; NA, not applicable; NTproBNP, N‐terminal pro‐brain‐type natriuretic peptide; OR, odds ratio; UA, uric acid; WRF, worsening renal function.
