International practice guidelines make different recommendations for postoperative troponin testing to detect perioperative myocardial infarction and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery. To gain insights into current testing patterns, we evaluated predictors of routine troponin testing after three commonly performed major noncardiac surgeries. ⋯ Troponin testing varied substantially across hospitals for selected major noncardiac surgery procedures even after accounting for differences in patient-level cardiac risk factors. Our observations lend support to a more standardized approach for troponin testing after noncardiac surgery.
