Eur J Prev CardiolPublished Prospective cohort study

An erratum to this article was published (Eur J Prev Cardiol, 29 Jul 2026 ↗)

Authors' conclusion

In this prospective study, higher circulating sTREM-1 levels were independently associated with incident CVD. Addition of sTREM-1 to established risk scores was associated with improvements in discrimination and reclassification metrics

Discrimination: sTREM-1 added to SCORE2-SCORE2 OP (Harell C-index)

Improvement also among individuals at low to moderate 10-year risk of CHD or stroke

Reclassification: sTREM-1 added to SCORE2-SCORE2 OP
