Finally, we performed a logistic regression model to assess the association between LST decision and the composite biological criteria (D-dimer, NT-pro-BNP/BNP, and creatinine) adjusted on potential confounder [Table 3: adjusted for age, high blood pressure, ischemic stroke, kidney failure, thromboembolism disease, history of cardiomyopathy, history of atrial fibrillation (20), ARBs, diuretic medication]. Here, NPPB is linked to Thromboembolism.
