In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, increases in high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) have been reported to be associated with worse outcomes. In the critically ill, the prognostic value of hs-cTnT, however, remains to be assessed given that most previous studies have involved a case mix of non- and severely ill COVID-19 patients.
We conducted, from March to May 2020, in three French intensive care units (ICUs), a multicenter retrospective cohort study to assess in-hospital mortality predictability of hs-cTnT levels in COVID-19 patients.
111 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients (68% of male, median age 67 (58-75) years old) were included. At ICU admission, the median Charlson Index, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, and PaO/FiO were at 3 (2-5), 37 (27-48), and 140 (98-154), respectively, and the median hs-cTnT serum levels were at 16.0 (10.1-31.9) ng/L. Seventy-five patients (68%) were mechanically ventilated, 41 (37%) were treated with norepinephrine, and 17 (15%) underwent renal replacement therapy. In-hospital mortality was 29% (32/111) and was independently associated with lower PaO/FiO and higher hs-cTnT serum levels.
At ICU admission, besides PaO/FiO, hs-cTnT levels may allow early risk stratification and triage in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者中,据报道高敏心肌肌钙蛋白T(hs-cTnT)升高与更差的预后相关。然而,在重症患者中,鉴于大多数先前的研究纳入了非重症和重症COVID-19患者的混合病例,hs-cTnT的预后价值仍有待评估。
2020年3月至5月,我们在法国的三个重症监护病房(ICU)进行了一项多中心回顾性队列研究,以评估COVID-19患者hs-cTnT水平对院内死亡率的预测能力。
纳入了111例实验室确诊的COVID-19患者(68%为男性,中位年龄67(58 - 75)岁)。在入住ICU时,Charlson指数、简化急性生理学评分II和PaO/FiO的中位数分别为3(2 - 5)、37(27 - 48)和140(98 - 154),hs-cTnT血清水平的中位数为16.0(10.1 - 31.9)ng/L。75例患者(68%)接受了机械通气,41例(37%)接受了去甲肾上腺素治疗,17例(15%)接受了肾脏替代治疗。院内死亡率为29%(32/111),且与较低的PaO/FiO和较高的hs-cTnT血清水平独立相关。
在入住ICU时,除了PaO/FiO外,hs-cTnT水平可能有助于对重症COVID-19患者进行早期风险分层和分诊。
