The diagnostic performance of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T/I (hs-cTnT/I) and the efficacy of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-h hs-cTnT/I algorithms for the early diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction are lower in cancer patients.
The authors aimed to derive new cutoffs for ESC 0/1-h hs-cTnT/I algorithms optimized for use in patients with active or past cancer.
Patients presenting with suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction to the emergency department enrolled in an international multicenter study were analyzed. Final diagnoses were centrally adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists according to the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction. External validation was performed in 2 independent cohorts.
Among 541 eligible cancer patients, cancer-optimized ESC 0/1-h hs-cTnT cutoffs, <8 ng/L at presentation (if chest pain onset >3 hours) or <14 ng/L if 0/1 h-delta is <3 ng/L for rule-out and ≥54 ng/L or 0/1-h delta ≥4 ng/L for rule-in, increased the efficacy vs the current cutoffs from 58.6% (95% CI: 54.4-62.7) to 68.0% (95% CI: 64.0-71.8; P < 0.001). Sensitivity and specificity remained high and comparable. Similarly, among 516 eligible patients, cancer-optimized ESC 0/1-h hs-cTnI-Architect cutoffs, <7 ng/L at presentation (if chest pain onset >3 hours) or <10 ng/L if 0/1-h delta is <3 ng/L for rule-out and ≥61 ng/L or 0/1-h delta ≥5 ng/L for rule-in, increased the efficacy vs the current cutoffs from 59.3% (95% CI: 55.0-63.5) to 78.9% (95% CI: 75.2-82.2; P < 0.001). Sensitivity and specificity again remained high and comparable. Findings were confirmed in internal and external validation cohorts (n = 130 and n = 195 patients, respectively).
Cancer-optimized ESC 0/1-h hs-cTnT/I algorithm cutoffs increased efficacy maintaining high safety.
在癌症患者中,高敏心肌肌钙蛋白T/I(hs-cTnT/I)的诊断性能以及欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)0/1小时hs-cTnT/I算法对非ST段抬高型心肌梗死的早期诊断效果较低。
作者旨在得出针对正在患癌或既往患癌患者优化的ESC 0/1小时hs-cTnT/I算法的新临界值。
对参加一项国际多中心研究的、因疑似非ST段抬高型心肌梗死就诊于急诊科的患者进行分析。最终诊断由2名独立心脏病专家根据心肌梗死的第四个通用定义进行集中判定。在2个独立队列中进行外部验证。
在541例符合条件的癌症患者中,针对癌症优化的ESC 0/1小时hs-cTnT临界值,就诊时<8 ng/L(如果胸痛发作>3小时),或者如果0/1小时差值<3 ng/L则<14 ng/L用于排除,≥54 ng/L或0/1小时差值≥4 ng/L用于纳入,与当前临界值相比,诊断效果从58.6%(95%CI:54.4 - 62.7)提高到68.0%(95%CI:64.0 - 71.8;P<0.001)。敏感性和特异性仍然很高且相当。同样,在516例符合条件的患者中,针对癌症优化的ESC 0/1小时hs-cTnI-Architect临界值,就诊时<7 ng/L(如果胸痛发作>3小时),或者如果0/1小时差值<3 ng/L则<10 ng/L用于排除,≥61 ng/L或0/1小时差值≥5 ng/L用于纳入,与当前临界值相比,诊断效果从59.3%(95%CI:55.0 - 63.5)提高到78.9%(95%CI:75.2 - 82.2;P<0.001)。敏感性和特异性再次保持在较高水平且相当。研究结果在内部和外部验证队列(分别为n = 130例和n = 195例患者)中得到证实。
针对癌症优化的ESC 0/1小时hs-cTnT/I算法临界值提高了诊断效果,同时保持了高安全性。
