The Role of Mature Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Its Precursor in Predicting Early-Onset Insomnia in Stroke Patients Experiencing Early Neurological Deterioration by Shi G, Yu P, Wang Z, Xu M, Guo M, Wang X, Zhou R

“…The areas under the curve (AUC) for mBDNF and the mBDNF/proBDNF ratio were 0.686 and 0.778, respectively.Conclusion: Our study identified a correlation between reduced mBDNF levels and a decreased mBDNF/proBDNF ratio with the development of EOI in END patients. In addition, the mBDNF/proBDNF ratio may provide greater insight as a promising biomarker for EOI than mBDNF or proBDNF alone.Keywords: brain-derived neurotrophic factor, ischemic stroke, insomnia, early neurological deterioration, biomarker…”
