Figure 1. A, Etiology of acute pericarditis. The pie chart shows the prevalence of various acute pericarditis etiologies in the cohort. B, Adverse outcomes. The column chart shows the incidence of adverse outcomes in the cohort.

Figure 2. Forest plot for the prediction of the composite adverse outcome. Logistic regression multivariate model for the prediction of the composite adverse outcome (tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, failure of treatment, clinical recurrences, or death). Statistical significant values are presented in bold character. MI = myocardial infarction.

Figure 3. A, Treatment failure or clinical recurrences in idiopathic and postcardiac injury pericarditis. The column chart shows the incidence of treatment failure or clinical recurrences in patients with idiopathic pericarditis and postcardiac injury pericarditis. The column chart shows the incidence of treatment failure or clinical recurrences in patients with idiopathic pericarditis and postcardiac injury pericarditis. B, Adverse outcome in patients with and without troponin I positivity. The column chart shows the incidence of adverse outcome in patients with and without troponin I positivity.
