Key result
Raised serum troponin T concentration at admission independently predicted inpatient mortality in acute ischaemic stroke patients (40% vs 13%; RR 3.2; 95% CI 1.7-5.8; P=0.0025).

May aid risk stratification on admission in acute ischaemic stroke; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve survival.
Paul A. James (2000) conducted an observational in Acute ischaemic stroke (n=181). Raised serum troponin T concentration (>0.1 microgram/l) vs. Normal troponin T concentration was evaluated on Inpatient mortality (RR 3.2, 95% CI 1.7-5.8, p=0.0025). Raised serum troponin T concentration at admission independently predicted inpatient mortality in acute ischaemic stroke patients (40% vs 13%; RR 3.2; 95% CI 1.7-5.8; P=0.0025).
