BIOmarkers of TRAumatic Brain Injury Spain (BIOTRABIS)

Completed

• Conditions: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury; Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

• Registration Number: NCT04641767
• Lead Sponsor: Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena

Brief Summary

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as a structural alteration of brain function caused by external causes, where mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) represents approximately 80% of all TBI, and although its prognosis is relatively good, it represents a significant cost to the system due to the need to perform a cranial computed tomography (CT) scan, a test of high economic value and not without risks such as irradiation, especially important and dangerous in the pediatric age.

The investigators aim to set-up a point of-care (POC) device to validate a biomarker (H-FABP) able to diagnose the presence of brain damage in children and adults with mTBI at trauma and paediatric Emergency Departments using a blood sample, in order to save resources and avoid subjecting patients to a potentially damaging imaging test. But also, to assess whether the incorporation of new biomarkers improves the prediction of brain damage that can be done with H-FABP.

For that, the investigators will recruit a 400 patients' cohort with blood samples using the available POC device for H-FABP biomarker.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Brain damage diagnostic accuracy	through study completion, an average of 2 years	Brain damage diagnostic in mild TBI patients during hospital admission \[% brain damage versus % non brain damage\] will be determined by clinical and neuroimaging criteria (CT) at emergency departments arrivals and compared with diagnostic accuracy of a blood biomarker based test.
Brain damage long term diagnostic accuracy	through study completion, an average of 2 years	Brain damage diagnostic in mild TBI patients after 3 months \[% brain damage long term versus % non brain damage long term \] will be determined by Glasgow Outcome Score (GOSe) through telephone call and compared with previous diagnostic accuracy of a blood biomarker based test.
