Prognostic value of elevated cardiac troponin I in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although cardiac troponin has been well established as diagnostic and prognostic makers for acute coronary heart disease, the prognostic value of elevated cardiac troponin in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was inconsistent and not systematically evaluated.

Hypothesis

We proposed the hypothesis that the practical utility of cardiac troponin levels for prediction of mortality and poor outcome in ICH patients.

Methods

A total of 1004 patients with ICH were retrospectively reviewed and qualified for further analysis from June 2012 to December 2015. The patients were divided into different groups based on measurements of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) at the time of admission and the following day. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis were per
