Prognostic value of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin for major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) is associated with cardiovascular outcomes in the general population, but the prognostic value of hs-cTn in the diabetic population remains inconclusive. This study aimed to systematically review current evidence regarding the association between...

description Background High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) is associated with cardiovascular outcomes in the general population, but the prognostic value of hs-cTn in the diabetic population remains inconclusive. This study aimed to systematically review current evidence regarding the association between hs-cTn and the prognosis of diabetic patients. Methods MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Database were searched from inception to May, 2023. Observational studies that investigated the prognostic value of hs-cTn in diabetic patients were included in this meta-analysis. Studies were excluded if they did not report outcomes of interest, or urine hs-cTn were measured. Two independent investigators extracted and analyzed the data according to the PRISMA guidelines. The primary outcome was long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Results We included 30 cohort studies of 62,419 diabetic patients. After a median follow-up of 5 (4.1–9.5) years, the pooled results suggested elevation of hs-cTn was associated with a significantly increased risk of MACE (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) per standard deviation (SD) change 1.15, 95% CI [1.06–1.25], I2 = 0%) and heart failure (adjusted HR per SD change 1.33, 95% CI [1.08–1.63], I2 = 0%) in patients with diabetes. No significant association was found regarding the association between elevation of hs-cTn and risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR per SD change 1.24, 95% CI [0.98–1.57], I2 = 0%). The results of sensitivity analyses were similar in prospective cohort studies, high-quality studies, or population without major cardiovascular comorbidities at baseline. hs-cTn may represent a strong and independent predictor of MACE and heart failure in diabetic patients. Future research is warranted to determine the appropriate cutoff value for hs-cTn with different comorbidities, for instance, diabetic nephropathy, peripheral artery diseases, etc.
