Study profile

ACS=acute coronary syndrome. NSTEMI=non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Invasive management defined as angiography with or without revascularisation within 3 days of peak troponin concentration. *57 of the 77 deaths in patients not invasively managed within 3 days of the peak troponin concentration had eligible propensity scores and were assigned to treatment groups using multiple imputation. Across the imputed datasets, on average, ten were included in the invasive management group and 47 were included in the non-invasive management group.
