Is cardiac troponin T at ICU admission associated with mortality in major trauma patients?

Population

Intervention

Cardiac troponin T measurement at ICU admission

Outcome

Mortalityhard clinical

Cardiac troponin T at ICU admission serves as a prognostic marker for mortality in major trauma patients, regardless of direct cardiac trauma.

Abstract

This confirms cardiac troponin T at ICU admission as a marker of mortality in major trauma. Elevated cardiac troponin T may be seen in patients without evidence of direct cardiac trauma.
