In addition, during the proofing stage of this article the abbreviations of different troponins (high-sensitive cardiac troponin I: hs-cTnI; high-sensitive cardiac troponin T: hs-cTnT; the generic term high-sensitive cardiac troponin: hs-cTn) were incorrectly replaced in the text and figures 1 and 2 by ‘hs-cTnT’. The correct abbreviations are as follows (in bold):

Abstract/Objective: ‘To determine whether copeptin-us can rule out diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) without prolonged monitoring and serial blood sampling in patients with high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) below the 99th centile at presentation to the emergency department (ED).’

Abstract/Interventions: ‘Hs-cTnI was measured using an assay with …
