Natural History and Clinical Associations of Plasma Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with secondary injury and poor outcomes, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Vascular mechanisms may be important. We aimed to characterize how blood vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) levels are affected by TBI, and its associations with secondary injury and functional outcome.
