Negative Troponin I as a Predictor of Survival in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Our study found a significant association between a negative troponin I value in the first 24 h of admission and decreased odds of death during admission in patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection, in addition to decreased odds of cardiac complications but no significant difference in hospital length of stay. Therefore, the authors suggest that the absence of troponin I elevation may serve as an indicator of a more benign hospital course.
