The pivotal ALERT-TBI study showed high sensitivity for the combination of astroglial (glial fibril- lary acidic protein [GFAP]) and neuronal (ubiquitin C-terminal hydro- lase

Background: Several factors associated with unfavourable outcome after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been described: prolonged pre-hospital time, secondary referral to a

The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the impact of PTHP, a history of unemployment or sick leave, and care pathways on the long-term global outcome in individuals with severe

In study I and II, a retrospective follow-up was performed of 51 consecutive individuals, age 16–65 years, who were admitted with severe TBI to Sahlgrenska

The DAI group had consistently higher glucose values (mean 2.5 mmol/L) compared to the focal injury group (mean 1.6 mmol) between 30 and 185 hours post-injury of

The overall aim of this dissertation was to assess both novel and previously studied blood biomarkers reflecting neuronal injury and dysfunction in individuals

Finally, the results from a new approach to detect intracranial hematomas using a MWT device (study IV) yielded promising results for use in the early triage of patients with
