Abstract
⺠BNP assay is considered a reliable test for the evaluation of cardiac function. ⺠Guidelines recommend an identical decision level for all BNP immunoassays. ⺠We organized a proficiency study to compare the results of these immunoassays. ⺠Marked differences in analytical performance and measured values were demonstrated. ⺠Therefore different decision values should be adopted for BNP immunoassay methods.
