Reducing redundant creatine kinase testing in cardiac injury
Background Creatine kinase (CK) testing in the setting of suspected cardiac injury is commonly performed yet rarely provides clinical value beyond troponin testing. We sought to evaluate and reduce CK testing coupled with troponin testing by 50% or greater.Methods We performed root cause analysis to...
