Value of Troponin in Predicting Hospital Mortality of Older Adult Patients without Suspected Acute Coronary Syndromes

CONCLUSIONS: In older adult patients without suspected ACS, troponin testing did not improve the prediction of hospital mortality above that of a model including age and common admission blood tests. In the absence of suspected ACS, troponin testing is not needed to predict the hospital mortality of older adult patients.PMID:34480195 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001287
