Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of various cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers related to neuronal damage, inflammation and amyloid β (Aβ) metabolism in patients resuscitated after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA).
Methods: CSF levels of neurofilament light protein (NFL), total tau (T-tau), hyperphosphorylated tau (P-tau), YKL-40, Aβ38, Aβ40, Aβ42, soluble amyloid precursor protein α and β (sAPPα and sAPPβ) were measured in 21 patients approximately two weeks after CA and in 21 age-matched neurologically healthy controls. The biomarker levels were also compared between patients with good and poor long-term clinical outcome according to Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), activities of daily living (ADL) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE), measuring neurologic function, daily functioning and cognitive function, respectively.
