Key result
Myocardial injury at admission in patients hospitalized with influenza was associated with significantly higher 28-day mortality (7.4% vs 0%; P=0.048).
Why the study?
Myocardial injury is a recognized prognostic marker in acute cardio-respiratory illnesses, but its relevance in Influenza remains poorly defined.
Does myocardial injury predict mortality and adverse events in hospitalized patients with Influenza?
Cohort (n=145)
Yes
Does myocardial injury predict mortality and adverse events in hospitalized patients with Influenza?
Absolute Event Rate: 7.4% vs 0%
p-value: p=0.048
Myocardial injury is common in patients hospitalized for influenza and is strongly associated with both short-term adverse events and mid-term mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May identify higher-risk influenza inpatients for monitoring; hypothesis-generating for troponin-guided strategies in prospective studies.
Biasco et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Influenza (n=145). Myocardial injury (hs-cTnT >14 ng/L) vs. No myocardial injury was evaluated on Mortality at 28 days (p=0.048). Myocardial injury at admission in patients hospitalized with influenza was associated with significantly higher 28-day mortality (7.4% vs 0%; P=0.048).
