Neuron-Specific Markers and their Correlation with Neurological Scales in Patients with Acute Neuropathologies.

In predicting outcomes in patients with acute brain injury, current practice focuses special attention on neuron-specific proteins that reliably reflect the severity of the lesion. Further studies of molecular markers and their specificity and sensitivity could contribute to broadening the understanding of pathophysiological, diagnostic, and prognostic methods, which is vital to reducing the mortality and disability associated with these critical conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess the biomarkers of brain lesions and their correlative relations with the integral Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) in predicting severity and treatment outcomes in patients with acute neuropathologies.
