Do raised serum cardiac troponin I concentrations predict hospital mortality in intensive care unit patients?
Increased serum cTnI concentrations during ICU stay independently predicts hospital mortality, even when the threshold is low. We found a trend towards an association between 'minor' elevations in cTnI and higher in-hospital mortality.
This study suggests that CXADR and F2RL1 likely play important roles in BP and obesity variation, respectively; and these findings are consistent with those of other studies, so replication and functional analyses are necessary.
