The cardiac stress marker NT-proBNP failed to be of predictive power for the detection of IE but was highly significant in predicting mortality with an odds ratio (95%-CI) of 4.70 (0.72, 2.50) for the 30-day mortality and of 4.33 (2.2, 9.1) for 1-year mortality ( Figure 2 e,f, Table 3 and Table 4 ).
