Association of Cardiac Troponin T Concentration on Admission with Prognosis in Critically Ill Patients without Myocardial Infarction: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the association of cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) with prognosis in critically ill patients without myocardial infarction.

Methods

Adult patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2008 and 2019 who were free of myocardial infarction with a length of ICU stay ≥24 hours and available cTnT records within 24 hours before and after ICU admission were included. The association between cTnT on ICU admission and hospital mortality was evaluated by multivariable logistic regression analysis. The discrimination capacity of cTnT on ICU admission for predicting hospital mortality was examined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

Results

A total of 2960 patients were included. Elevated
