Table 2 Comparison of serum NT-proBNP levels in pediatric sepsis patients of different ages according to the type of septic condition and patient survival.

Patients with sepsis	NT-ProBNP (ng/L)				χ2 value	P
Patients with sepsis	<1 year	1–3 years	4–6 years	7–18 years	χ2 value	P
During admission to the hospital	5348.7	4486.8	4107.4	3829.6	40.36	0.000
Patients with sepsis	4734.7	4217.3	3924.2	3709.4	36.17	0.000
Patients with septic shock	5617.6	5229.1	4877.8	4235.5	38.55	0.000
Surviving patients	4915.3	4508.7	3897.6	3613.3	37.74	0.000
Deceased patients	5474.7	5061.8	4755.4	4435.2	36.35	0.000
