Implication

Elevated troponin I may mark fetal myocardial stress in acidosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Population
110 infants (neonates) after delivery
O
Outcome
Relationship between fetal cardiac troponin I in umbilical artery blood and intrapartum events (onset of labor, mode of delivery, presence of meconium) and umbilical artery pHsurrogate

Elevated fetal cardiac troponin I at birth is associated with lower umbilical artery pH, suggesting a potential link between fetal acidosis and myocardial stress or injury.
