We aimed to determine the prognostic value of troponin T (TNT) for in-hospital and 1-yr mortality in a large sample of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients presenting at the emergency department of a tertiary care centre from January 1998 to December 2006 with PE were included. A blood sample was taken at the time of presentation. To determine in-hospital and 1-yr mortality, data from the hospital records and the national death register were used. TNT was determined in 563 out of 737 patients with proven PE. TNT was elevated (&gt;0.03 ng x mL(-1)) in 27%. In-hospital survival was 79% in TNT-positive patients compared with 94% in TNT-negative patients (p&lt;0.001). 1-yr survival was 71% in TNT-positive patients compared with 90% in TNT-negative patients (p&lt;0.001). Elevated TNT levels meant a four-times higher risk of in-hospital death and a three-times higher risk of 1-yr mortality, even after adjustment for the other most important risk factors of death in this population. Elevated TNT independently predicts in-hospital and 1-yr mortality in patients with acute PE.
