4 Figure 3 OR of short-term death based on elevated troponin test results in normotensive patients with acute PE: random-effects metaanalysis of nine studies. CHEST  , DOI: ( /chest ) Copyright © 2009 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 Positive LR for troponin test results and short-term death in normotensive patients with acute symptomatic PE: random-effects metaanalysis of nine studies. (Positive LR equals the rate of troponin level elevation in patients who died divided by the rate of troponin level elevation in patients who survived).

6 Figure 5 Negative LR for troponin test results and short-term death in normotensive patients with acute symptomatic PE: random-effects metaanalysis of nine studies. (Negative LR equals the rate of nonelevated troponin levels in patients who died divided by the rate of nonelevated troponin levels in patients who survived).
