'We are the forgotten victims': Perspectives of adult siblings of persons with traumatic brain injury.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To examine the prognostic ability of protein S100B, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) for prediction of 1-year mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in relation to clinical and radiological characteristics of TBI. METHODS:Brain injury was quantified in 8...
