Absolute Versus Relative Changes in Cardiac Troponin T: Corresponding Cutoffs Based on Quantile Generalized Additive Models (QGAM) |
Background: The diagnosis of myocardial injury/infarction (MI) mainly relies on relative changes in cardiac troponin. However, absolute change cutoffs provide greater diagnostic sensitivity. We determined the absolute changes in high-sensitive cardiac troponin T concentrations (absΔhs-cTnT) corresponding to the main relative cutoffs (relΔhs-cTnT), using a quantile generalized additive model (qgam).
