Comparative analysis for the implication of serum cardiac troponin measurements by conventional versus high-sensitivity assays in patients with traumatic brain injury.

CONCLUSIONS: Although the positivity of any troponin assay is associated with high mortality post-TBI, the use of HsTnT relatively outperforms the conventional troponin assay for early risk stratification and detection of stress-induced myocyte injury in patients with TBI. Further studies are needed to support our findings. PMID: 31789007 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
