First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked at whether routinely measuring a heart enzyme (hsTnT) in patients aged 75 and older after major surgery could predict complications like longer hospital stays or death within 30 days. The study planned to enroll 100 patients but was stopped early with 63 participants. The goal was to gather information, not to test a new treatment.
