Table 3 Multivariate model with Hazard Ratios (HRs) by Cox regression (n = 1001) with adjustment for age and gender, and significant factors from single models partly adjusted for age and gender included, i.e. troponin categorical, respiratory rate, saturation, CHF, renal disease and BMI level

From: Myocardial injury defined as elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is associated with higher mortality in patients seeking care at emergency departments with acute dyspnea
