Maintained high sustained serum malondialdehyde levels after severe brain trauma injury in non-survivor patients

Abstract Objective Higher blood malondialdehyde (biomarker of lipid peroxidation) levels in the first hours of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been found in patients with a worst prognosis. The objective of this study was to determine whether serum malondialdehyde levels during the first week of s...

description Abstract Objective Higher blood malondialdehyde (biomarker of lipid peroxidation) levels in the first hours of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been found in patients with a worst prognosis. The objective of this study was to determine whether serum malondialdehyde levels during the first week of severe TBI could be used as mortality biomarkers. This was a multicenter, prospective and observational study performed in six Spanish Intensive Care Units. We included patients with severe TBI (defined as Glasgow Coma Scale < 9), and with Injury Severity Score in non-cranial aspects < 9. We determined serum malondialdehyde concentrations at days 1, 4 and 8 of TBI. We stablished 30-day mortality as the end-point study. Results We found that serum malondialdehyde concentrations at days 1 (p < 0.001), 4 (p < 0.001), and 8 (p < 0.001) of TBI were higher in non-survivor (n = 34) than in survivor (n = 90) patients. We found an area under curve of serum malondialdehyde concentrations at days 1, 4, and 8 of TBI to predict 30-day mortality of 77% (p < 0.001), 87% (p < 0.001) and 84% (p < 0.001) respectively. Thus, the new and most relevant findings of our study were serum malondialdehyde levels during the first week of TBI could be used as mortality biomarkers.
