The study suggests age-specific troponin thresholds enhance myocardial injury diagnosis accuracy. The 99th percentile for hs-troponin T matched manufacturer levels, but hs-troponin I thresholds varied. Age-specific thresholds are crucial for accurate diagnosis, with levels needing adjustment based on age groups. The study highlights the importance of defining abnormality using troponin assays and the variability in reference limits across different assays. Age-specific thresholds are recommended for improved diagnostic accuracy, especially in younger and older populations. Further research is needed to establish definitive guidelines for troponin threshold determination.
