Early Discharge from the Emergency Department Based on Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor (suPAR) Levels: A TRIAGE III Substudy

Table 2

30-day mortality of patients discharged within 24 hours. Groups were created based on the presence (suPAR group) or absence (control group) of suPAR at the index admission.

Mortality, no. patients (%)

 Control group77 (1.8)

 Alive, median (IQR)3.5 (2.6–4.7)
 Dead, median (IQR)8.5 (6.7–11.8)
