High postoperative TnT is a strong predictor of 30-day mortality in non-cardiac surgery .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Association between postoperative troponin levels and 30-day mortality among patients undergoing noncardiac surgery
JAMA. 2012 Jun 6;307(21):2295-304. doi: 10.1001/jama.2012.5502.15,133 patients (45 years or older) undergoing non-cardiac surgery were included in this study (the VISION fourth-generation TnT prognostic study). The purpose of this large, international prospective cohort study was to determine whether peak postoperative troponin-T (TnT) values are associated with 30-day mortality rates. Results indicated that peak postoperative TnT values were the strongest predictors for 30-day mortality rates in this patient population. The median time from the peak TnT measurement to death became shorter with increasing peak TnT values. The net re-classification improvement (for risk categories) associated with assessing postoperative TnT values was 25.0%, compared to the assessment of preoperative risk factors only. According to the population attributable risk analysis, high TnT values in the postoperative period may explain 41.8% of deaths.
