Structured PICO

Is early high-sensitivity troponin elevation associated with short-term mortality in patients with sepsis?

Population

Patients with sepsis

Intervention

Early high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) elevation

Comparator

Without early hs-cTn elevation

Outcome

Short-term mortalityhard clinical

While early hs-cTn elevation is seen in sepsis non-survivors, it does not serve as an independent predictor of short-term mortality.

Abstract

Non-survivors of sepsis exhibited significantly elevated hs-cTn levels. While elevated hs-cTn levels are associated with an increased risk of mortality, they are not independently associated with this outcome in sepsis.
