Elevated postoperative TnT was associated with higher 3-month mortality after hip fracture surgery; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before guiding care.
Do clinical parameters and cardiac biomarkers predict three-month postoperative mortality in elderly patients with hip fracture?
Elevated postoperative troponin T levels, along with age, male sex, and ASA score, are significant predictors of 3-month mortality in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
Talsnes et al. (2010) studied this question.
