Serum Neuroglobin and Nogo-A Concentrations in Acute Traumatic Brain Injury

Completed
Conditions
Traumatic Brain Injury
Registration Number
NCT02229643
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai 6th People's Hospital
Brief Summary

Neuroglobin has been described as a marker of traumatic brain injury. Nogo-A plays an important role in mediating neuroanatomical plasticity and functional recovery following traumatic brain injury. The investigators sought to examine the changes in serum neuroglobin and Nogo-A concentrations in patients with traumatic brain injury during the initial 96-h posttraumatic period and assessed the relation of neuroglobin and Nogo-A to Glasgow Coma Score and prognosis of such patients with traumatic brain injury.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Glasgow Outcome Scale scores6 months

Glasgow Outcome Scale 1 = death; Glasgow Outcome Scale 2 = vegetative state; Glasgow Outcome Scale 3 = severe neurological deficit; Glasgow Outcome Scale 4 = mild neurological deficit and Glasgow Outcome Scale 5 = premorbid level of functioning or completely recovery. Unfavorable outcome was defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of ≤ 3, and favorable outcome was defined as a Glasgow Outcome Scale score of \> 3.
