Evaluating NfL and NTproBNP as predictive biomarkers of intracranial injuries after mild traumatic brain injury in children presenting to emergency departments

[Objective] Blood-biomarkers have the potential to aid clinicians in pediatric emergency departments (PED) in managing children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) acutely. However, studies focusing on pediatric populations remain limited. We aim to assess the performances of two routinely used...

Descripción
Sumario:[Objective] Blood-biomarkers have the potential to aid clinicians in pediatric emergency departments (PED) in managing children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) acutely. However, studies focusing on pediatric populations remain limited. We aim to assess the performances of two routinely used biomarkers in other fields: the neurofilament light chain protein (NfL), and the N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), to safely discharge children without intracranial injuries (ICIs).
