AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the performance and establish the upper reference limit for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) using the MAGLUMI CLIA method in healthy populations.
- Two groups of healthy adults were analyzed: one with younger adults (average age 43) and another with older adults (average age 78), focusing on blood donation volunteers.
- Results showed that hs-cTnI levels were significantly higher in men than women, especially after age 55, confirming that the MAGLUMI CLIA method meets international diagnostic criteria for cardiac assessments.
Article Abstract
Objectives: The present multicenter study was designed to evaluate the analytical performance and the 99th percentile value of the reference healthy population i.e., 99th percentile upper reference limit of the MAGLUMI CLIA high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) method.
Methods: Analytical performances and the 99th percentile URL value of the chemi-luminescent-immuno-assay (CLIA) method were evaluated using validated and standardized experimental protocols. Two cohorts including healthy adult individuals were enrolled. The first one included 989 blood donor volunteers (489 women and 500 men) aged 18-70 years (mean age 43 years, interquartile range 31-54 years). The second population included 47 healthy individuals (31 women and 16 men, mean age 78 years, interquartile range 73-81 years) aged≥71 years.
Results: The distributions of hs-cTnI levels in both sexes are highly right-skewed, and men show significantly (p=0.0028) higher biomarker values than women. Moreover, in both sexes the hs-cTnI levels progressively increase after the 55 years. In the multivariate analysis (n=958), hs-cTnI was found to be significantly associated to NT-proBNP (p<0.0001), sex (p<0.0001) and BMI (p=0.0424). The 99th percentile URL values, calculated using the bootstrap method in the total reference heathy population (age≥18 years), were: Females (n=521): 5.93 ng/L (CI 95 % 5.29-8.48), Males (n=516): 9.79 ng/L (CI 95 % 6.37-17.41 ng/L), Total Population (n=1,037): 7.18 ng/L (CI 6.08-12.20 ng/L).
Conclusions: The MAGLUMI CLIA method met all the criteria for an hs-cTnI assay recommended by international guidelines. The hs-cTnI values measured with the CLIA method are higher in men compared to women at the same age, and also progressively increase after the age>55 years.

Correct measurement results from in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices (MD) are crucial for optimal patient care. The performance of IVD-MDs is often assessed through method comparison studies. Such studies can be compromised by the influence of various factors.

Introduction: To perform simulation studies on patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), iron (Fe), potassium (K), and thyrotropin (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) analytes, focusing on optimizing systematic error detection while minimizing data loss.
Methods: Clinical laboratory data for the four analytes were analyzed using various truncation methods. Among these methods, truncation limits corresponding to fixed percentiles (e.

The accuracy of using HEART (history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, and troponin) scores with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) to risk stratify emergency department (ED) chest pain patients remains uncertain. We aim to compare the performance accuracy of determining major adverse cardiac event (MACE) among three modified HEART (mHEART) scores with the use of hs-cTn to risk stratify ED chest pain patients. This retrospective single-center observational study included ED patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome who had HEAR scores calculated and at least one hs-cTnI result.
