Abstract:Objective To explore the value of the combined detection of serum S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100β) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in evaluating the condition and prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury.Methods The 103 patients with craniocerebral injury admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to June 2021 were selected, and the serum levels of S100β and NSE were detected in these patients. The clinical data of the patients were collected, and the prognosis was observed 3 months after the treatment. The serum levels of S100β and NSE were compared among patients with different severity of craniocerebral injury before the treatment. The factors affecting the prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury were determined, and the predictive values of serum S100β and NSE for the prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury were analyzed.Results Among 103 patients with craniocerebral injury, there were 28 mild cases, 41 moderate cases, and 34 severe cases. The serum levels of S100β and NSE in mild cases were lower than those in moderate and severe cases (P < 0.05), and they were even lower in the moderate cases than in the severe cases (P < 0.05). Of all these patients, 20 had a poor prognosis, and the rest 83 had a good prognosis. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was lower in patients with a poor prognosis than those with a good prognosis (P <0.05), while the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE) score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, intracranial pressure, and the levels of lactic acid, S100β and NSE were higher in patients with a poor prognosis than those with a good prognosis (P < 0.05). The Logistic multivariable regression analysis showed that GCS score [O^R = 5.463 (95% CI: 2.402, 12.427) ] and levels of lactic acid [O^R= 3.846 (95% CI: 1.691, 8.749) ], S100β [O^R = 3.408 (95% CI: 1.498, 7.752) ] and NSE [O^R = 4.063 (95% CI: 1.786, 9.243) ] were independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury (P < 0.05). The sensitivities of S100β, NSE and their combination in predicting the prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury were 70.00%, 75.00% and 70.00%, the specificities were 75.90%, 72.29% and 90.36%, and the areas under the ROC curves were 0.764, 0.742 and 0.908.Conclusions The serum levels of S100β and NSE are related to the condition and prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury, and the combined detection of the two indicators is effective in predicting the prognosis of patients with craniocerebral injury.
