  • *Statistically significant AUC.

  • †BNP on admission is available only for 431 patients.

  • Bold typeface highlights statistically significant results.

  • AUC, area under the curve; BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; NGAL, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin; TIMI, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction.
