Does cardiac troponin I level correlate with perinatal and neonatal outcomes in neonates with respiratory distress?
Cardiac troponin I measured within 12 hours of birth correlates with perinatal outcomes such as Apgar scores and acidosis in neonates with respiratory distress, serving as a potential indicator of severity.
Mu et al. (2009) studied this question.
