Figure 2. Cardiovascular composite outcome prediction models by deciles of predicted risk/deciles of NT‐proBNP.

NT‐proBNP indicates N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide; and py, person/years. Base Model: formed by high sensitivity cardiac troponin, history of heart failure, age, albumin, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, history of atrial fibrillation, history of stroke, systolic blood pressure, HbA_1c, smoking, history of coronary heart disease, sex, urine albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio, any bundle branch block on ECG, diastolic blood pressure, insulin use, Q wave on ECG, heart rate, left ventricular hypertrophy on ECG, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, in decreasing order of χ²; v=variables. Error bars represent 95% CIs.
