Brief summary

The Mindray High Sensitivity Troponin-I Measurement System is an in vitro diagnostic test for the quantitative determination of high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in human serum or plasma. The Mindray High Sensitivity Troponin-I Measurement System is to be used as an aid in the diagnosis and rule out of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Detailed description

Study purpose/objective: * Determine the sex-specific 99th percentile upper reference limits (URLs) for the Mindray hs-cTnI assay using the CL-1200i Instrument. * Method comparison across the dynamic range of cTnI concentrations between the Mindray hs-cTnI assay and the Abbott Alinity hs-TnI assay used in clinical practice at Hennepin Healthcare/Hennepin County Medical Center. * Evaluate the clinical performance of the Mindray hs- cTnI measuring system for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI), for early rule out MI and myocardial injury, and assessment of 30-day safety outcomes in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) in whom serial cTnI measurements (0h, 2h, 4h, 6h) are obtained on clinical indication at Hennepin Healthcare / Hennepin County Medical Center (Minneapolis, MN USA) to rule-in and rule-out MI.

Interventions

Lithium heparin plasma samples will be measured with Mindray Bio-Medical CL-1200i Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Examine the incidence of undetectable(<LoD), measurable (LoD - 99th percentile), and increased (>99th percentile) cTn concentrations for the Mindray Bio-Medical hs-cTnI assay using the CL-1200i analyzer.Day 1Examine the incidence of undetectable(\<LoD), measurable (LoD - 99th percentile), and increased (\>99th percentile) cTn concentrations for the Mindray Bio-Medical hs-cTnI assay using the CL-1200i analyzer in comparison to a high sensitivity cTnI assay (Abbott Alinity) to determine the potential impact on positivity rate, defined by sex-specific 99th percentiles.
Examine ConcordanceDay 1Examine analytical and clinical concordance and discordance predicated on sex-specific 99th percentiles between Mindray hs-cTnI concentrations in comparison to the Abbott Alinity high sensitivity cTnI assay.
Examine the diagnostic performance for acute myocardial injury and acute myocardial infarction.Day 1Examine the diagnostic performance for a) acute myocardial injury and b) acute myocardial infarction based on various diagnostic strategies using hs-cTnI measurement(s), as follows: 1. Single measurement rule out strategy 1. Limit of detection (LoD) 2. Derive an optimal rule-out (ng/L) hs-cTnI cutoff for the Mindray Bio-Medical hs-cTnI assay using the CL-1200i analyzer to meet an early rule out clinical need 2. Accelerated serial sampling (0/2h protocol) rule out strategy a) Delta (absolute concentration serial change value, 0-2h) analysis 3. Diagnosis performance predicated on sex-specific 99th percentile URLs
Describe the incidence of MI and myocardial injury, clinical characteristics and 30-day safety outcomes risk of patients with and without hs-cTnI increases above the sex-specific 99th percentile URLsDay 1Describe the incidence of MI and myocardial injury, clinical characteristics and 30-day safety outcomes risk of patients with and without hs-cTnI increases above the sex-specific 99th percentile URLs, including patients categorized with acute myocardial injury and acute myocardial infarction, including type 1 and 2 myocardial infarction, following the 4th Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.
Impact on the incidence of myocardial injury and myocardial infarction diagnoses.Day 1Examine the potential impact on the incidence of myocardial injury and myocardial infarction diagnoses using hs-cTnI upon clinical practice implementation with a comparison to the hospital's final ICD-10 code diagnosis of type 1 and type 2 MIs, and non-MI myocardial injury.
