The Use of GFAP and UCH-L1 Biomarkers in Clinical Practice for the Management of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (BIO-TC-L)
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a frequent reason for emergency department visits. Although most patients have a normal brain CT scan, this examination is still widely ordered, exposing patients to radiation, overloading imaging services and increasing care costs. The decision to perform a brain CT scan is usually based on validated clinical decision rules, such as the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR) or the New Orleans Criteria (NOC). However, several studies including a recent meta-analysis suggest significant CT overuse in the management of mTBI.
In recent years, biomarkers specific to brain injury mainly Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin Carboxy-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) have shown their ability to reliably rule out the presence of clinically significant intracranial injuries.
The combined use of GFAP and UCH-L1 has been recommended by the French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR) and the French Society of Emergency Medicine (SFMU) in patients with mild traumatic brain injury at intermediate risk of intracranial bleeding, in order to limit the number of brain CT scans. Although prospective observational studies have evaluated the value of using these biomarkers, no study has evaluated their implementation in routine clinical practice.

Descrição detalhada
The study will be conducted in the Emergency Department (ED) of Grenoble University Hospital.
The main objective of this prospective, single-center, observational study is therefore to analyze the use of GFAP and UCH-L1 biomarkers in routine clinical practice at Grenoble University Hospital to confirm their clinical utility and safety.
All adult patients presenting to the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital emergency department for mild traumatic brain injury will be enrolled and analyzed during the study period.
Data will be collected from electronic medical records. To assess patient's outcomes 1 month after their emergency department visit, a follow-up will telephone call will be conducted for the subgroup of patients who had a negative biomarker result without an initial CT scan.
