Does undetectable troponin I at presentation using a contemporary sensitive assay rule out myocardial infarction?
Using a contemporary TnI assay, undetectable initial TnI has high but not perfect sensitivity and NPV, unless early presenters are excluded.
Obesity increasingly impacts outcomes in liver transplantation. Although the present data are limited by the fact that they were sourced from a single institution, they suggest that morbid obesity adversely affects longterm outcomes despite providing similar short-term results. Further analysis is indicated to identify risk factors for poor outcomes in morbidly obese patients.
