Outcome prediction in traumatic brain injury: comparison of neurological status, CT findings, and blood levels of S100B and GFAP.
To investigate the predictive value of early serum levels of S100B and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in traumatic brain injury. ⋯ Blood levels of S100B and GFAP indicate the severity of brain damage and are correlated with neurological prognosis after trauma. Both methods can yield additional prognostic information if combined with clinical and CCT findings.
