Figure 1 Cumulative frequency distribution curve displaying the time to discharge of patients with or without kidney disease in the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) group versus the control group. BNP testing exclusively reduced the time to discharge in patients without kidney disease.

Figure 2 Total treatment cost in the control group versus the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) group in patients with and without kidney disease. BNP testing exclusively reduced total treatment cost in patients without kidney disease. Boxes show means and I bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
