It found that a higher admission o-Tyr/Phe ratio was associated with better neurological outcomes, while a lower ratio was linked to seizures and poor outcomes.
The central finding was that a higher admission CSF o-Tyr/Phe ratio, reflecting oxidative stress, was significantly correlated with a more favorable recovery and outcome. Conversely, a lower o-Tyr/Phe ratio was associated with admission seizures, higher TIMP-1 levels, and increased odds of poor neurological outcomes such as suboptimal Glasgow Outcome Score, ataxia, and other sequelae at day 7 and one month post-discharge. The study found no significant association between o-Tyr/Phe and mortality within 7 days. A higher 3NO2-Tyr/p-Tyr ratio was linked to slower recovery but not directly to final outcome.
