Table 1. Maximum sensitivity of the DLM for a specific specificity.

	Revised item^a	Sensitivity^b (STEMI)	Sensitivity^c (NSTEMI)	Specificity^d
DLM (original)	0.000	164/174 (94.3%)	80/138 (58.0%)	133/138 (96.4%)
CV-V3		146/174 (83.9%)	80/138 (58.0%)	114/138 (82.6%)
DLM (specificity=82.6%)	0.450	166/174 (95.4%)	108/138 (78.3%)	114/138 (82.6%)
CV-V11		162/174 (93.1%)	104/138 (75.4%)	89/138 (64.5%)
DLM (specificity=64.5%)	0.612	166/174 (95.4%)	123/138 (89.1%)	89/138 (64.5%)
^aThe revised item was used to modify the probability of non-AMI given by DLM. For example, if an original probability of STEMI/NSTEMI/non-AMI was 0.220/0.310/0.470, then the prediction was defined as non-AMI according to the largest probability. However, the revised item was used to make DLM become more sensitive, which was used to modify the probability of non-AMI as 0.470-0.450=0.020 as the first situation. Therefore, the new prediction of this case was defined as NSTEMI according to the largest revised probability (0.220/0.310/0.020). ^bThe sensitivity of STEMI was defined as the percentage of STEMI that was correctly identified as STEMI. ^cThe sensitivity of NSTEMI was defined as the percentage of NSTEMI that was correctly identified as NSTEMI. ^dThe specificity is defined as the percentage of non-AMI cases that was correctly identified as non-AMI.
