Inpatient Mortality and 30-Day Readmission Rates Associated with Troponin Testing in Patients without Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Troponin values above the threshold established to diagnose acute myocardial infarction (AMI; >99th percentile) are commonly detected in patients with diagnoses other than AMI. The objective of this study was to compare inpatient mortality and 30-day readmission rate in patients with troponin I (TnI) above and below the 99th percentile in those with type 1 AMI and type 2 myocardial injury.

“…To some extent, higher levels of TnI represent greater ranges of myocardial necrosis, which might be associated with poor prognosis. Widmer et al found that TnI values ≥0.1 ng/ml were associated with higher in-patient mortality and 30-day readmission rates in myocardial injury patients ( 32 ). In addition, patients with cardiogenic shock often present with poor cardiac function and serious conditions, and these patients tend to have poor outcomes ( 33 ).…”
