High sensitivity troponin T concentrations in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery: A prospective cohort study
To determine the proportion of noncardiac surgery patients exceeding the published 99th percentile or change criteria with the high sensitivity Troponin T (hs-TnT) assay. We measured hs-TnT preoperatively and postoperatively on days 1, 2 and 3 in 325 adults. Postoperatively 45% (95% CI: 39–50%) of p...

Summary: | To determine the proportion of noncardiac surgery patients exceeding the published 99th percentile or change criteria with the high sensitivity Troponin T (hs-TnT) assay.
We measured hs-TnT preoperatively and postoperatively on days 1, 2 and 3 in 325 adults.
Postoperatively 45% (95% CI: 39–50%) of patients had hs-TnT
≥
14
ng/L and 22% (95% CI:17–26%) had an elevation (≥
14
ng/L) and change (>
85%) in hs-TnT.
Further research is needed to inform the optimal hs-TnT threshold and change in this setting. |
