Table 4. Comparison of the troponin and BNP measurements.
Variables | Median | Min-max | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Troponin (pg/mL) | |||
Initial values | 6.0 | 06.0–22.0 | |
After AC | 23.0 | 06.0–85.0 | < 0.001* |
After T | 25.0 | 06.0–80.0 | < 0.001* |
BNP (pg/mL) | 0.43 | ||
Initial values | 13.0 | 03.0–81.0 | |
After AC | 12.0 | 05.0–103.0 | |
After T | 12.0 | 02.0–45.0 |
Friedman test followed by multiple non-parametric comparisons for longitudinal data.
*A two-tailed p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant compared with initial values.
AC: anthracycline (doxorubicin) and cyclophosphamide, T: taxane (paclitaxel), BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide, and min-max: minimum to maximum.
