Table 4. Risk classification by models including CHADS2 score and CHADS2 plus high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
Individuals in the unshaded diagonal boxes did not change classification with the addition of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Dark grey shading indicates the number of individuals who were reclassified in a desirable direction when high-sensitivity C-reactive protein was added to the CHADS2 score; light grey shading indicates individuals who were reclassified in an undesirable direction. Data in parentheses are row percents.
