Sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic strategies
| Strategy | Sensitivity (95% predictive interval) | Specificity (95% predictive interval) | Source |
| Discharge without testing or treatment | 0 | 1 | Assumed |
| 10 h troponin | 1 | 1 | Assumed |
| Presentation standard troponin T using 10% CV threshold (0.03 μg/l) | 0.74 (0.35–0.94) | 0.96 (0.76–0.99) | Meta-analysis |
| Presentation standard troponin T using 99th centile threshold (0.01 μg/l) | 0.80 (0.33–0.97) | 0.91 (0.53–0.99) | Meta-analysis |
| Presentation high-sensitivity troponin T using 99th centile threshold (0.014 μg/l) | 0.96 (0.27–1.0) | 0.72 (0.03–0.99) | Meta-analysis |
