Abstract
En 中文
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is a debilitating disease that results in a heterogeneous set of symptoms. This includes secondary inflammatory mechanisms, which can perpetuate injury to the spinal cord, as well as negatively affect other organ systems. Standard prognostication, such as magnetic resonance imaging, is cumbersome and provides limited resolution; thus, the development of prognostic biofluid tests is of significant clinical importance. The current study systematically reviewed biomarker studies following acute (within 24 h) TSCI. Four databases were searched for this systematic review, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane (OvidSP), Web of Science, and Scopus, resulting in 702 articles to be screened by two independent reviewers. Thirty-two studies met inclusion criteria and were included in the systemic review. About 116 total markers were examined, and 66.4% were found to be associated with TSCI with three major utilities: diagnostic, injury severity, and prognostics. Results generated from the current study highlight discrepancies between biofluids and recommend biomarkers for clinical utility. Future research should associate these acute biomarkers with long-term outcomes using predictive modeling, in addition to curating a clinical TSCI database for optimal prognostication. As TSCI outcomes are variable and impact many systems, the curation of preventative and interventional treatment strategies is crucial.
