Abstract:
:Predicting outcome after pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is important for providing information to families and prescribing rehabilitation services. Previously published studies evaluating the ability of serum biomarkers to predict outcome after pediatric TBI have focused on three markers: neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100B, and myelin-basic protein (MBP), all of which have important limitations. The study objectives were to measure serum concentrations of two novel serum biomarkers, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase (UCH-L1) and αII-spectrin breakdown product 145 kDa (SBDP145), in children with TBI and healthy controls and to assess the ability of these markers to predict outcome as assessed by a dichotomous Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score. We also sought to compare the predictive ability of UCH-L1 and SBDP145 to that of the clinical gold standard, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, and to that of the well-accepted biomarkers NSE, S100B, and MBP. Serum UCH-L1 and SBDP145 concentrations were significantly greater in subjects than in controls. The increase in UCH-L1 and SBDP145 was exclusively seen in subjects with moderate and severe TBI; there was no increase after mild TBI. Both markers had a significant negative partial correlation with the GCS after controlling for age. Both UCH-L1 and SBDP145 were correlated with GOS, and this correlation was stronger than the correlations with NSE, S100B, or MBP. These results suggest that these two markers may be useful in assessing outcome after moderate and severe pediatric TBI.
