Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods that aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of a human subject that has sustained or may have sustained an injury to the head, such as mild or moderate, severe, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), using cTnI. Also disclosed are methods for determining whether to perform a head computerized tomography on a subject by detecting levels of cTnI. Finally, also disclosed are methods of outcome in subjects suffering from a mild TBI.

Claim (Index 23):
A method for aiding in the diagnosis and evaluation of mild traumatic brain injury in a human subject, the method comprising:\n a) performing an assay on samples from the human subject to measure or detect a level of cTnI in a first sample and a second sample, wherein the first sample is taken from the human subject at a first time point and the second sample is taken from the human subject about 1 hours to about 4 hours after the first sample, wherein the samples are biological samples; b) determining whether the amount of cTnI has increased or decreased from the first sample to the second sample; and c) confirming the occurrence of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury if the level of cTnI detected has increased from the first sample to the second sample and confirming the absence of mild traumatic brain injury if the level of cTnI detected has remained unchanged or has decreased from the first sample to the second sample.
