  1. *Percentage is the proportion of false negatives within each category for each variable (FN / FN + TP in each category). Multivariable models are adjusted for all variables which are significant univariable predictors of false negatives in each period, and all are included in the models as categorical variables. Comorbidities was not included in the multivariable model for the ICD-9 sample. †p < 0.05, ‡p < 0.0001.
  2. ICD, International Classification of Diseases; CI, confidence interval; MI, myocardial infarction; UA, unstable angina; CHD, coronary heart disease; FN, false negative; TP, true positive.
