Description
Summary:Background The prognostic ability of cardiac troponin I (TnI) has been demonstrated in general populations and among cardiovascular disease patients, but it has not been evaluated in cancer patients. Hypothesis This study assumes to have the prognostic ability of cardiac troponin in cancer patients visiting the emergency department. Methods Cancer patients visiting the emergency department were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Patients with previously known coronary artery disease or clinically indicated coronary angiography were not included. The maximal value from Siemens ADVIA Centaur troponin I Ultra assay within 24 hours was assessed. The primary endpoint was 180‐day all‐cause death, including cardiovascular and noncardiovascular death. Results A total of 9135 cancer patients (mean age: 63 years, male gender: 60%) were enrolled. Lowest (0.006 ng/mL), assay‐specific
