Table 3. When 14 dogs of the ACVIM stage C or more were checked at 6-month intervals, the correlation coefficient between NT-proBNP, lipase concentration and month.
| Characteristics | Month | NT-proBNP | Lipase | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R | p* | R | p* | R | p* | |
| Month | 0.556 | <0.001 | 0.449 | <0.001 | ||
| NT-proBNP | 0.556 | <0.001 | 0.409 | 0.001 | ||
| Lipase | 0.449 | <0.001 | 0.409 | 0.001 | ||
ACVIM, American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.
*The p values were measured by Pearson's coefficient of correlation analysis.
