摘要

Background

Cardiac troponin is commonly raised in patients presenting with malignancy. The prognostic significance of raised troponin in these patients is unclear.

Objectives

We sought to investigate the relation between troponin and mortality in a large, well characterised cohort of patients with a routinely measured troponin and a primary diagnosis of malignancy.

Methods

We used the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Health Informatics Collaborative data of 5571 patients, who had troponin levels measured at 5 UK cardiac centres between 2010 and 2017 and had a primary diagnosis of malignancy. Patients were classified into solid tumour or haematological malignancy subgroups. Peak troponin levels were standardised as a multiple of each laboratory’s 99th -percentile upper limit of normal (xULN).

Results

4649 patients were diagnosed with solid tumours and 922 patients with haematological malignancies. Raised troponin was an independent predictor of mortality in all patients (Troponin > 10 vs. <1 adjusted HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.73 to 2.34), in solid tumours (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.55 to 2.19), and in haematological malignancy (HR 2.72, 95% CI 1.99 to 3.72). There was a significant trend in increasing mortality risk across troponin categories in all three subgroups (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Raised troponin level is associated with increased mortality in patients with a primary diagnosis of malignancy regardless of cancer subtype. Mortality risk is stable for patients with a troponin level below the ULN but increases as troponin level increases above the ULN in the absence of acute coronary syndrome.
