Emerging Implications of Serum Resolvin D2 as a Biochemical Marker for Severity Assessment and Prognosis Prediction Following Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Prospective... by Zong H, Zong Y, Li J, Zhao S, Wu W, Chen R, Zhao G, Li Z

“…Serum RvD2 levels exhibited strong discrimination efficiency for the probability of poor prognosis (P< 0.001), with similar ability as Rotterdam scores (P=0.337) and GCS scores (P=0.300). The integrative model encompassing serum RvD2, Rotterdam scores and GCS scores performed well using a series of statistical methods.Conclusion: A significant decrease in serum RvD2 levels after msTBI may accurately indicate trauma severity and efficiently distinguish the possibility of poor neurological outcomes in msTBI, signifying that serum RvD2 may be of clinical significance in the prognostic prediction of TBI.Keywords: resolvin 2, traumatic brain injury, prognosis, severity, biomarkers…”
