In contrast, whereas several small studies found increased mortality in patients with sepsis who have elevated troponin levels [19-21], only one study concluded that elevated cTnI was an independent prognosticator of mortality after adjusting for other significant variables (OR, 2.020; 95% CI, 1.153 to 3.541; P = 0.014) [22]. Here, TNNI3 is linked to Sepsis.
