GFAP can be reliably measured in serum and plasma of Danish adults, while UCH-L1 measurement in plasma requires further evaluation for its suitability.
Serum and plasma are suitable for GFAP measurement, but UCH-L1 should not be measured in plasma, and population-specific cutoff values are needed for accurate assessment.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
The analytical precision and storage conditions of GFAP/UCH-L1 were satisfactory. Serum and plasma can be used for measurement of GFAP, whereas UCH-L1 measurement in plasma is not advised until further evaluations are conducted. The manufacturer's upper reference limits may not be suitable for our population. Thorough research on cutoff values is necessary.
