While analyzing the groups of survivors and non-survivors, we found that patients in the non-survivor group had a significantly older age, higher APACHE IV- and SOFA-scores on the first day of ICU admission, higher prevalence of stroke as a comorbidity and increased baseline serum levels of creatinine, lactate and hs-cTnT compared to patients in the survivor group. This evidence concerns the gene TNNT2 and stroke disorder.
