ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains to be the biggest public threat all over the world. Because of the rapid deterioration in some patients, markers that could predict poor clinical outcomes are urgently required. This study was to evaluate the predictive values of cardiac injury parameters, including cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, on mortality in COVID-19 patients.METHODS:
COVID-19 patients in Zhongfaxincheng branch of Tongji Hospital (Wuhan, China) from February 8-28, 2020, were enrolled in this study. We followed up the patients for 30 days after admission.RESULTS:
A total of 134 patients were included in the study. Multivariate Cox regression showed that 1) patients with elevated cTnI levels had a higher risk of death (hazard ratio [HR] 7.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.56-21.00) than patients with normal cTnI levels; 2) patients with elevated NT-proBNP levels had a higher risk of death (HR 27.88, 95% CI 3.55-218.78) than patients with normal NT-proBNP levels; 3) patients with both elevated cTnI and NT-proBNP levels had a significantly higher risk of death (HR 53.87, 95% CI 6.31-459.91, P < 0.001) compared to patients without elevated cTnI or NT-proBNP levels; 4) the progressions of cTnI and NT-proBNP levels were also correlated with death (HR 12.70, 95% CI 3.94-40.88, P < 0.001 and HR 51.09, 95% CI 5.82-448.26, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
In COVID-19 patients, cTnI and NT-proBNP levels could be monitored to identify patients at a high risk of death in their later course of disease.
