Pediatric-specific 97.5th percentile URLs for cardiac troponin would enhance myocardial injury classification in children and young adults.
Does the use of pediatric-specific 97.5th percentile URLs for cTn increase the classification of myocardial injury in children and young adults?
Applying pediatric-specific 97.5th percentile URLs for cardiac troponin increases the classification of myocardial injury in children and young adults, though the clinical implications remain uncertain.
The use of pediatric-specific 97.5th percentile URLs for cTn would increase classification of myocardial injury in children and young adults. The clinical implications of this are uncertain and require further study given cTn testing has increased over the last decade.
Thurston et al. (2026) studied this question. Pediatric-specific 97.5th percentile URLs for cardiac troponin would enhance myocardial injury classification in children and young adults.
