Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1) In patients with a GCS score of 13 to 15, no neurodegenerative disease or neuropathy, and no history of brain disease within the past 30 days, the lower limit of the two-sided 95% confidence interval of the blood biomarker sensitivity is 85% or higher to determine non-inferiority, when compared with CT examination. 2) In patients with a GCS score of 13 to 15, no neurodegenerative disease or neuropathy, and no history of brain disease within the past 30 days, the negative predictive value for blood biomarkers is more than 97% when the CT positive rate is set to 6%, the same as in the United States.
