A borderline significant positive correlation was observed between initial GCS scores and pTau-217 levels at 24–48 h ( p = 0.054, r=0.43).
A borderline significant positive correlation was observed between initial GCS scores and pTau-217 levels at 24–48 h ( p = 0.054, r=0.43).
While this methodological difference is an explicit limitation, the fact that we still observed a highly significant elevation in pTau-217 in the sTBI cohort makes our findings more robust, as the comparison was inherently conservative.
