Evaluating Blood-Based Biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1 for Diagnosing Intracranial Injury in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patients in the Emergency Department

Evaluating Blood-Based Biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1 for Diagnosing Intracranial Injury in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patients in the Emergency Department

This study validates plasma biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1 as sensitive but nonspecific tools to help rule out intracranial injury in mild traumatic brain injury patients, potentially improving emergency department efficiency while highlighting the need for larger studies.
