Serum soluble CD40 Ligand levels are associated with severity and mortality of brain trauma injury patients

To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting data on serum sCD40L levels in patients with severe TBI. The most relevant and newer findings of our study are that serum sCD40L levels in non-surviving patients with severe TBI are higher than in surviving ones, and that there are an association between serum sCD40L levels and TBI severity and mortality.
