Serum spectrin breakdown product and neurofilament heavy in predicting outcome after cardiac arrest: A diagnostic accuracy study

Objectives: Spectrin breakdown products 145 kDa (SBDP145) and neurofilament heavy chain (Nf-H) have been identified as potential biomarkers of neuronal injury. However, their ability to predict hypoxic-ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest in humans is not well understood. This study aimed...

description Objectives: Spectrin breakdown products 145 kDa (SBDP145) and neurofilament heavy chain (Nf-H) have been identified as potential biomarkers of neuronal injury. However, their ability to predict hypoxic-ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest in humans is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate whether SBDP145 and Nf-H could be used as biomarkers to predict neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. Methods: This prospective study was conducted at two academic hospitals and included adults who survived after cardiac arrest. Blood samples were collected at 0, 24, and 48 h after the return of spontaneous circulation, and biomarker analyses were performed to measure SBDP145 and Nf-H. Poor neurological outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Score of 4–6, and diagnostic performance was determined by receiver-operating characteristics analysis. Results: A total of 56 patients were included in this study. There were no significant differences in levels of SBDP145 or Nf-H between the poor and good outcome groups at any time point. Areas under the receiver-operating characteristics curve of SBDP145 and Nf-H were small, ranging from 0.51 to 0.7. At 0, 24, and 48 h, SBDP145 showed very low sensitivity (18.61 %, 13.89 %, and 13.79 %, respectively) and accuracy (33.93 %, 36.74 %, and 39.02 %, respectively) at a cut-off value for 100 % specificity. Nf-H also showed very low sensitivity (9.30 %, 16.67 %, and 0 %, respectively) and accuracy (29.09 %, 36.74 %, and 30.95 %, respectively). Conclusions: SBDP145 and Nf-H were found to be poor predictors of poor neurological outcomes six months after cardiac arrest.
