The [[S100B]] protein level 72 h after [[injury]] and changes over 72 h afterward are [[statistically significant]] for the [[prediction]] of a good clinical [[condition]] 1 month after injury. The highest [[sensitivity]] (81.4%) and [[specificity]] (83.3%) for the S100B protein value after 72 h was obtained for a cut-off value of 0.114. For the change after 72 h, that is a decrease in S100B value, the optimal cut-off is 0.730, where the sum of specificity (76.3%) and sensitivity (54.2%) is the highest, or a decrease by 0.526 at the cut-off value, where sensitivity (62.5%) and specificity (62.9%) are more balanced. The S100B values were the highest at [[baseline]]; the S100B value taken 72 h after [[trauma]] negatively correlated with [[GCS]] upon discharge or transfer (r=-0.517, P<0.0001). They found no relationship between S100B protein and [[hypertension]], [[diabetes mellitus]], [[BMI]], or the season when the trauma occurred. Changes in values and a higher level of S100B protein were demonstrated in polytraumas with a median of 1.070 (0.042; 8.780) μg/L compared to isolated TBI with a median of 0.421 (0.042; 11.230) μg/L. S100B protein level with specimen collection 72 h after trauma can be used as a complementary marker of patient [[prognosis]] ((Trnka S, Stejskal P, Jablonsky J, Krahulik D, Pohlodek D, Hrabalek L.
