Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of heart fatty-acid binding protein (H-FABP) in differentiating transient ischemic attacks (TIA) from similar conditions using data from 175 patients.
- Results showed higher H-FABP levels in TIA patients compared to mimic cases, with a significant p-value indicating a strong difference.
- H-FABP demonstrated good diagnostic capabilities, with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 23.30%, suggesting its potential as a useful biomarker for TIA in clinical settings like emergency departments.
Children are highly vulnerable to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Blood biomarkers can help in their management. This study evaluated the performances of biomarkers, in discriminating between children with mTBI who had intracranial injuries (ICIs) on computed tomography (CT+) and (1) patients without ICI (CT-) or (2) both CT- and in-hospital-observation without CT patients.
