PROBAST: Applicability | Domain 1: Participant selection
Justification: However, patients might be healthier compared to the patients included in the development study Domain 2: Predictors
Justification: Domain 3: Outcome
Justification: troponin elevation is not similar to the outcome MACE in the development study Overall judgement
Justification: patient selection was appropriate and predictor definitions were clearly defined and comparable to definitions used in the development study. However, the outcome used was different from MACE in the development study. |

Notes | — | |
Item | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Domain 1: Participant selection | Yes | Appropriate participant selection in which patients were selected in whom the RCRI model can be applied. |
Domain 2: Predictors | Yes | Clear (RCRI) predictor definitions were described. |
Domain 3: Outcome | No | Troponins are not routinely drawn on all patients, but rather drawn when a clinical suspicion of MINS exists. |
Domain 4: Analysis | Yes | Clear methodology and appropriate number of outcomes. |
Overall judgement | No | Appropriate patient selection, clearly defined predictors and proper methodology. However, outcomes could have been missed due to inappropriate outcome assessment. |
