Elevated levels of cardiac troponin T are associated with poor outcome in critically ill patients and have been proposed as a prognostic marker in major trauma. This study investigated the relationship between cardiac troponin T levels on admission to intensive care unit (ICU) and all-cause mortality in major trauma patients.
A retrospective database analysis of cardiac troponin T levels on admission to the ICU in major trauma patients between 1 August 2015 and 31 December 2016 at a UK Major Trauma Centre was performed.
Of the 243 patients, 69 (28.4%) died. Cardiac troponin T levels were significantly higher in patients who died compared to survivors: 42 vs. 13 ng/L, respectively ( < 0.0001); the odds of all-cause mortality increased significantly as troponin increased, independent of age or Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score.
This confirms cardiac troponin T at ICU admission as a marker of mortality in major trauma. Elevated cardiac troponin T may be seen in patients without evidence of direct cardiac trauma.
心肌肌钙蛋白T水平升高与危重症患者的不良预后相关,并且已被提议作为重大创伤的预后标志物。本研究调查了重症监护病房(ICU)收治时的心肌肌钙蛋白T水平与重大创伤患者全因死亡率之间的关系。
对2015年8月1日至2016年12月31日期间在英国一家重大创伤中心收治入ICU的重大创伤患者的心肌肌钙蛋白T水平进行了回顾性数据库分析。
243例患者中,69例(28.4%)死亡。与幸存者相比,死亡患者的心肌肌钙蛋白T水平显著更高:分别为42 ng/L和13 ng/L(<0.0001);随着肌钙蛋白升高,全因死亡率的几率显著增加,与年龄或急性生理与慢性健康状况评分无关。
这证实了ICU收治时的心肌肌钙蛋白T可作为重大创伤死亡率的标志物。在没有直接心脏创伤证据的患者中也可能出现心肌肌钙蛋白T升高。
