Implications of High Sensitivity Troponin Levels After Lung Transplantation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Trends in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) after lung transplant (LT) and its clinical value are not well stablished. This study aimed to determine kinetics of hs-cTnI after LT, factors impacting hs-cTnI and clinical outcomes. LT recipients from 2015 to 2017 at Toronto General Hospital were included. Hs-cTnI levels were collected at 0–24 h, 24–48 h and 48–72 h after LT. The primary outcome was invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) >3 days. 206 patients received a LT (median age 58, 35.4% women; 79.6% double LT). All patients but one fulfilled the criteria for postoperative myocardial infarction (median peak hs-cTnI = 4,820 ng/mL). Peak hs-cTnI correlated with right ventricular dysfunction, >1 red blood cell transfusions, bilateral LT, use of EVLP, kidney function at admission and time on CPB or VA-ECMO. IMV>3 days occurred in 91 (44.2%) patients, and peak hs-cTnI was higher in these patients (3,823 vs. 6,429 ng/mL, p < 0.001 after adjustment). Peak hs-cTnI was higher among patients with had atrial arrhythmias or died during admission. No patients underwent revascularization. In summary, peak hs-TnI is determined by recipient comorbidities and perioperative factors, and not by coronary artery disease. Hs-cTnI captures patients at higher risk for prolonged IMV, atrial arrhythmias and in-hospital death.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
