  • Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and positive and negative likelihood ratios of dichotomised/dichotomous biomarkers, risk assessment models and combination of biomarkers with regard to an adverse 30-day outcome. PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; LR+/−: positive/negative likelihood ratio; hsTnT: high-sensitivity troponin T; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; ESC: European Society of Cardiology.
