Association of acute blood biomarkers with diffusion tensor imaging and outcome in patients with traumatic brain injury presenting with GCS of 13-15.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to assess the association between blood-based biomarkers of different cellular origins and later white matter integrity, measured using post-acute diffusion tensor metrics, and their relation to outcome in patients presenting with Glasgow Coma Scale of 13-15 after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Admission plasma samples for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), interleukin 10 (IL-10), heart fatty-acid binding protein (H-FABP), S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B), total tau (T-tau), and amyloid beta 40 and 42 (Aβ40 and Aβ42) were taken for 92 patients. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and outcome evaluation was done ≥ 90 days post-injury. Outcome was assessed using Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) and dichotomized as complete (GOSE 8) a
