Article Synopsis
- - This study examined concussion severity and outcomes in children involved in various activities (e.g., non-sport trauma, organized sports, and recreational activities) by measuring glial and neuronal biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1.
- - A total of 131 participants with concussions were enrolled, revealing significant differences in GFAP and UCH-L1 levels across groups, suggesting variations in concussion severity based on the type of activity.
- - CT scans showed intracranial lesions in a small percentage of cases, and elevated UCH-L1 levels were linked to poorer outcomes, indicating that while concussion severity and outcomes appeared similar across groups, biomarker levels provide insights into the extent of injury.
Purpose: Prognostication following liver transplantation is limited. Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with morbidity and mortality in a variety of diseases. We hypothesize RDW is predictive of mortality postliver transplantation.
