The Prognostic Value of Troponin in Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Troponin elevation is increasingly used for risk stratification, but its prognostic utility remains variably reported across studies. To evaluate the prognostic value of troponin elevation in patients with acute PE, concerning short-term mortality and adverse clinical outcomes. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed was searched from January 2000 to the present, using terms such as "pulmonary embolism," "troponin," and "prognosis." Eligible studies reported associations between troponin elevation and mortality or adverse events in adult patients with PE. Data were synthesised quantitatively and narratively.
