bEight algorithms were evaluated in this study; the major parameters are listed here.
cThis article only reported statistics specific to each sex, age category, and time period, and did not report on the validity of nonfatal MI overall; therefore, we have provided the ranges of the 10 sensitivity and PPV values reported in this article.
COD = cause-of-death; LOS = length-of-stay; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval.
