Comparative Study
Tau proteins in serum predict neurological outcome after hypoxic brain injury from cardiac arrest: results of a pilot study.
To conduct a pilot study to evaluate the prognostic potential of serum tau protein measurements to predict neurological outcome 6 months following resuscitation from cardiac arrest. ⋯ High-sensitivity serum tau measurements combined with an understanding of tau release kinetics could have utility for hypoxic brain injury assessment and prediction of cerebral function outcome.
