Why the study?

Does cardiac troponin I elevation predict cardiovascular morbidity and poor functional outcome in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?

Structured PICO

Does cardiac troponin I elevation predict cardiovascular morbidity and poor functional outcome in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?

Population

253 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) who underwent serial cardiac troponin I (cTI) measurements for clinical or ECG signs of potential cardiac injury, drawn from an inception cohort of 441 subjects.

Intervention

Elevated peak cardiac troponin I (cTI) levels

Comparator

Undetectable or lower levels of cardiac troponin I (cTI)

Outcome

Adverse in-hospital events and functional outcome at 3 months assessed with the modified Rankin Scalehard clinical

Cardiac troponin I elevation after subarachnoid hemorrhage is a significant predictor of in-hospital cardiopulmonary complications and poor functional outcome at discharge.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

cTI elevation may aid risk stratification in SAH; leaves open whether troponin-guided interventions improve outcomes.
