Abstract:Background:
Elevated levels of troponin-I (TnI) are common in
out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. However, studies evaluating the
prognostic value of TnI clearance in OHCA patients are lacking. We aimed to
examine how TnI clearance (TnI-C) differed according to the neurological outcome
group and mortality group at 6 months.
Methods:
This retrospective
observational study involved adults (
18 years) who were treated for an
OHCA between J… Show more
