Analytical Error of Cardiac Troponin and Impact on the Performance of Accelerated Diagnostic Protocols in Patients with Acute Chest Pain
Clin Chem. 2025 Oct 14:hvaf116. doi: 10.1093/clinchem/hvaf116. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: This study simulates how assay-specific bias influences the diagnostic performance of 0/1-h accelerated diagnostic protocols (ADPs) for 3 different high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) assays. METHODS: We included 1493 patients presenting with chest pain. hs-cTnT (Roche Diagnostics), hs-cTnI from Abbott Diagnostics (hs-cTnI-A), and … Read more
