Why the study?
Do Troponin I levels predict postoperative mortality and morbidity in children aged 7 days to 16 years after congenital cardiac surgery?
Do Troponin I levels predict postoperative mortality and morbidity in children aged 7 days to 16 years after congenital cardiac surgery?
Troponin I levels were associated with postoperative mortality and morbidity after pediatric congenital cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Troponin I levels are the most important predictive marker of myocardial injury. Myocardial injury has been reported as the most significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric cardiac surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of troponin I on postoperative mortality and morbidity in the child population.
