Troponin I Cutoff for Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Sepsis.

ABSTRACT: The diagnostic value and optimal cutoff level of cardiac troponin I in patients with sepsis have not been studied. In this single hospital retrospective study, we assessed the optimal cutoff value of troponin I for diagnosing non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with type 1 myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with sepsis who had undergone a percutaneous coronary intervention from 2009 to 2019. In total, 5,341 patients (excluding patients with chronic kidney disease) were included, of whom 277 had sepsis or septic shock. Of the 123 patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and sepsis, 77 (62.6%) were diagnosed with NSTEMI with type 1 MI. The receiver-operating characteristic curve showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.705 for diagnos
