Accuracy of a rapid glial fibrillary acidic protein/ubiquitin carboxyl‐terminal hydrolase L1 test for the prediction of intracranial injuries on head computed tomography after mild traumatic brain injury

The objective was to determine the accuracy of a new, rapid blood test combining measurements of both glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin carboxyl‐terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH‐L1) for predicting acute traumatic intracranial injury (TII) on head CT scan after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
