Logistic Regression With the Firth Penalized Likelihood Approach for Initial, Maximum, and Change in Troponin on Acute Myocardial Infarction

Troponin Level Odds Ratio 95% CI P Value AUC 95% CI
Initial troponin 1.074 1.063-1.086 <0.0001 0.8562 0.8454-0.8670
Maximum troponin 1.031 1.028-1.034 <0.0001 0.9401 0.9353-0.9449
Change in troponin (maximum – minimum) 1.031 1.027-1.034 <0.0001 0.8939 0.8848-0.9030

Note: Logistic regression with the Firth penalized likelihood approach was performed to assess the predictive ability of initial, maximum, and the change in troponin level on a primary diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction vs any other diagnosis. The P value for troponin value indicates statistical significance for predicting acute myocardial infarction.
