Plasma phosphorylated tau (p-tau231) and total tau (t-tau) as prognostic markers of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest - a multicentre study.
We studied the promising Alzheimer biomarker plasma tau phosphorylated at threonine 231 (p-tau231) in a cohort of cardiac arrest patients who survived to intensive care to predict long-term neurological outcomes. We also compared it to total tau (t-tau), which has demonstrated predictive abilities of neurological outcome post-cardiac arrest. ⋯ Although p-tau231 showed moderate neurological prognostic ability, t-tau was a stronger predictor, particularly at 48 h, even after adjusting for clinical covariates.
