Role of blood biomarkers in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage Background: The study of blood biomarkers can offer new possibilities in diagnostics, prognostication, determination of etiology, and management of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between a panel of selected blood biomarkers and clinical and radiodiagnostic parameters in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Primarily, the aim was to find a prognostic biomarker which could help in deciding on the optimal categorization of treatment. Patients and methods: A total of 70 patients were prospectively included in this study. The following blood biomarkers were determined: glial fibrillary acidic protein, S100B protein, matrix metalloproteinase 9, interleukin 6, interleukin 10, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D, total cholesterol, leukocyte counts, blood glucose and C-reactive protein. These were then correlated with selected clinical and radiodiagnostic parameters. Results: Relative to hematoma volume a statistically significant positive correlation was found for S100B, interleukin 10, interleukin 6 and blood glucose (S100B: ρ= 0,54, p< 0,001, IL-10: ρ= 0,43, p< 0,001, IL-6: ρ= 0,26, p= 0,027, blood glucose: ρ= 0,24, p= 0,045). Using multivariate analysis, a...
