While African Health Sciences has been freely accessible online there have been questions on whether it is Open Access or not. We wish to clearly state that indeed African Health Sciences is Open Access. There are key issues regarding Open Access needing clarification for avoidance of doubt:
- 1. Henceforth, papers in African Health Sciences will be published under the CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution License) 4.0 International. See details on https://creativecomons.org/)
- 2. The copyright owners or the authors grant the 3rd party (perpetually and in advance) the right to disseminate, reproduce, or use the research papers in part or in full, format/medium as long as:
- No substantive errors are introduced in the process
- Attribution of authorship and correct citation details are given
- The referencing details are not changed.
Should the papers be reproduced in part, this must be clearly stated.
- 3. The papers will be freely and universally accessible online in an easily readable format such as XML in at least one widely recognized open access repository such as PUBMED CENTRAL.

The predictive value of eGFR combined with BNP detection in acute kidney injury after acute myocardial infarction
Abstract
Objective: The combined detection of eGFR and BNP may provide some value in predicting the occurrence of AKI after AMI, and the study is designed to propose and validate this hypothesis.
Methods: In retrospective research, AMI patients hospitalized at Weifang People's Hospital from January to December 2020 were included. Whether AKI occurred within a week of admission, patients were divided into two groups. Clinical data from two groups of patients were collected, and the Logistic regression model analysed the risk factors for AKI after AMI. The association between eGFR and BNP was analysed using Pearson linear correlation. The predictive value of eGFR and BNP alone and combined detection on AKI after AMI was analysed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression showed that eGFR, BNP, HDLC, UA, and K ions were AKI risk factors (P < 0.05). The eGFR correlates negatively with BNP (R = -0.324, P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of eGFR and BNP alone and combined prediction for post-AMI AKI were 0.793, 0.826, and 0.831, respectively.
Conclusion: The combined detection of eGFR and BNP has a high predictive value for AKI development in AMI patients.
Keywords: AMI; AKI; eGFR; BNP; predictive value.
