Descriptive Statistics (Unadjusted) of the 30-Day Adverse Outcomes of our Study Cohort. Adverse Outcomes Are Stratified by Those Discharged and Hospitalized after an Emergency Department Visit for Chest Pain. Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) or Death Were Constructed to be Mutually Exclusive as Each Has Important Clinical Meaning. Eight Patients Had Both an AMI and Died, Explaining the Total Cohort (n=322) Used in the Primary Analysis
