One-hoUr Troponin using a high-sensitivity Point-Of-Care assay in emergency primary care: The OUT-POC pilot study.

Introduction Novel point-of-care (POC) high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) tests could enhance acute myocardial infarction (MI) assessment outside hospital. This pilot study evaluates the efficacy, feasibility, and precision of the QuidelOrtho TriageTrue hs-cTnI POC assay when used by non-laboratory personnel in emergency primary care. Methods A prospective pilot study was conducted from April to June 2024 at the main emergency primary care clinic in Oslo, Norway.
