Table 3 Pairwise comparison of ROC curves (DeLong test).
| Model | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Total | Non-CKD | CKD | |
| sST2 versus NT-proBNP | 0.5777 | 0.6898 | 0.8945 |
| sST2 versus sST2+NT-proBNP* | 0.0017 | 0.0114 | |
| NT-proBNP versus sST2+NT-proBNP* | 0.0123 | 0.0353 | 0.0477 |
| * Significant difference compared to the No-HF group (P ROC – receiver operating characteristic curves; sST2 – soluble ST2; NT-proBNP – N-terminal Pro-B-Type natriuretic peptide; No-CKD – no chronic kidney disease; CKD – chronic kidney disease. | |||
