Age-adjusted high-sensitivity troponin T cut-off value for risk stratification of pulmonary embolism.
High-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) helps in identifying pulmonary embolism patients at low risk of an adverse outcome. In 682 normotensive pulmonary embolism patients we investigate whether an optimised hsTnT cut-off value and adjustment for age improve the identification of patients at elevated risk. Overall, 25 (3.7%) patients had an adverse 30-day outcome. The established hsTnT cut-off valu...
متن کاملPerformance of age-adjusted D-dimer cut-off to rule out pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND Age-adjusted D-dimer cut-off has recently been proposed to increase D-dimer usefulness in older patients suspected of pulmonary embolism (PE). OBJECTIVE We externally validated this age-adjusted D-dimer cut-off using different D-dimer assays in a multicenter sample of emergency department patients. METHODS Secondary analysis of three prospectively collected databases (two Europea...
متن کاملValidation of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide cut-off values for risk stratification of pulmonary embolism.
The optimal N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) cut-off value for risk stratification of pulmonary embolism remains controversial. In this study we validated and compared different proposed NT-proBNP cut-off values in 688 normotensive patients with pulmonary embolism. During the first 30 days, 28 (4.1%) patients reached the primary outcome (pulmonary embolism-related death or c...
متن کاملTroponin T measurements by high-sensitivity vs conventional assays for risk stratification in acute dyspnea.
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponin T measured by a high-sensitivity assay (hs-cTnT) recently proved to be of prognostic value in several populations. The hs-cTnT assay may also improve risk stratification in acute dyspnea. METHODS We prospectively studied the prognostic value of hs-cTnT in 678 consecutive patients presenting to the emergency department with acute dyspnea. On the basis of conventiona...
متن کاملPredictive value of the high-sensitivity troponin T assay and the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index in hemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism: a prospective validation study.
BACKGROUND The new, high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) assay may improve risk stratification of normotensive patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We externally validated the prognostic value of hsTnT, and of the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI), in a large multicenter cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively examined 526 normotensive patients with acute PE; of...
