Abstract

Myelin basic protein (MBP) can be detected in the blood of headinjured patients. The level varies with different kinds on injury, and correlated with outcome in 157 patients with injuries of all degrees of severity1. This paper reports the results in patients with injuries of a certain minimum severity (defined as one followed by coma for at least six hours and who were included in the international collaborative study2).
