After adjusting for age and LVEF, cubic spline analysis also demonstrated that females had higher BNP concentrations at the 2-year follow-up than males ( Figure 3 ). Outcomes De novo HF hospitalization was numerically more frequent in females, but the difference did not reach statistical significance (15.3% vs. 9.3%; odds ratio 1.75, 95% CI 0.98–3.13; P=0.059; Table 4 ).
