The in-hospital and 1-year post-hospital discharge mortality rates were determined for the 100,433 hospitalized patients who had a troponin level drawn during hospitalization in 2006. Outcomes are displayed according to the ICD-9 diagnosis of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or Non-ACS condition and whether the troponin (cTn) level was negative or positive, based on the upper reference limit of the specific assay.
