The patients were divided into the 0/1-hour algorithm classification and disposition after OAEOC discharge. Time to first incident of AMI is reported, including index episode, in addition to all-cause death the following 90 days. Follow-up data were not available for 2019 due to technical data-extraction reasons from the national registries, shortening the follow-up period for the 53 patients recruited to the study in October 2018.
*AMI at index admission: total (N=1711); rule-out (n=1311); observation (n=334); rule-in (n=66).
†Including AMI at index.
‡Five patients with AMI subsequently died (four in the rule-in group and one in the observation group) and hence were not counted twice.
