Hs-cTnI levels were measured at diagnosis, and sex-specific cutoff points were determined for a 30-day composite outcome, defined as PE-related mortality, non-PE-related mortality, hemodynamic instability, reperfusion treatment, or admission to the intensive care unit. The secondary outcome was to compare the clinical performance of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) classification and the modified FAST score when applying sex-specific hs-cTnI cutoff points.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Among the 720 patients included, 39.5% had elevated hs-cTnI levels, with a higher prevalence in women (49.1% vs. 30.4%). The composite outcome occurred in 8.4% of men and 7.1% of women. The optimal hs-cTnI cutoff points for predicting the primary outcome were \u2265 25 pg\/mL in women and \u2265 50 pg\/mL in men. Elevated hs-cTnI was independently associated with the composite outcome in the total sample, with consistent association in women (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 10.1, 95% CI: 2.1\u201348) and men (aOR: 9.8, 95% CI: 2.9\u201332.6).
