Key result
Elevated cardiac troponin T (≥0.035 ng/ml) independently predicted total mortality (OR 4.31; 95% CI 1.16-16.04; P=0.008) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.
Why the study?
Does elevated cardiac troponin T predict total and cardiovascular mortality in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients?

Elevated serum cTnT (≥0.035 ng/ml) is a strong independent predictor of total and cardiovascular mortality, and correlates with increased LVMI, in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.

Elevated cTnT may refine mortality risk assessment in CAPD; leaves open its role in guiding interventions pending prospective validation.
Duman et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=65). Elevated cardiac troponin T (≥0.035 ng/ml) vs. cTnT <0.035 ng/ml was evaluated on total mortality (OR 4.31, 95% CI 1.16-16.04, p=0.008). Elevated cardiac troponin T (≥0.035 ng/ml) independently predicted total mortality (OR 4.31; 95% CI 1.16-16.04; P=0.008) in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients.
