Comparison between the studied neonatal groups revealed that there was a highly significant difference between and within the three groups regarding the mean of NT-pro BNP (NT-pro BNP mean of CHD, PD, and control was 27.03 ± 5.28, 14.95 ± 2.72, and 8.07 ± 1.02, respectively; p = 0.001), i.e., NT-pro BNP was significantly higher in the CHD group than in the PD and control groups ( Fig. 2 ).
