Imaging and laboratory testsa for prediction of earlyb mortality in acute PE
 |
|
BNP = brain natriuretic peptide; CT = computed tomographic; H-FABP = heart-type fatty acid-binding protein; HR = hazard ratio; LV = left ventricular; NPV = negative predictive value; NR = not reported in the reference cited; NT-proBNP = N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; OR = odds ratio; PE = pulmonary embolism; PPV = positive predictive value; RV = right ventricular.
aThe Table shows the results of meta-analyses or, in the absence thereof, of the largest prospective cohort studies.
bIn most studies, ‘early’ refers to the in-hospital period or the first 30 days after the index event.
cIn the studies included in this meta-analysis, cut-off values for the cardiac troponin tests used corresponded to the 99thpercentile of healthy subjects with a coefficient variation of <10%.
dHigh-sensitivity assay.
eThese studies included only normotensive patients and used a combined outcome (all-cause death or major cardiovascular complications).
