Table 4 Cox regression model for the acute coronary syndrome subgroup showing hazard ratios for the prespecified endpoints during 30 days and 24 months follow-up

From: B-type natriuretic peptide is a long-term predictor of all-cause mortality, whereas high-sensitive C-reactive protein predicts recurrent short-term troponin T positive cardiac events in chest pain patients: a prognostic study
