Utility of haemostatic markers to identify patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or specifically evolving a cTnT positive ACS
| Haemostatic marker cut off | Area under the ROC curve | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data presented with 95% confidence intervals. | |||||
| cTnT; cardiac troponin T; F1+2, prothrombin fragment 1+2; NPV, negative predictive value; PAI, plasminogen activator inhibitor; PPV, positive predictive value; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; TAT, thrombin-antithrombin; TFPI, tissue factor pathway inhibitor. | |||||
