Objectives:
To investigate the release of proinflammatory damage-associated molecular pattern molecule "high-mobility group box-1" in the serum of patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and its association with cerebral vasospasm.
Design:
Retrospective observational study.
Setting:
University hospital.
Patients:
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients admitted within 24 hours of ictus.
Interventions:
Standard subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment after clipping or coiling of aneurysm.
Measurements And Main Results:
We enrolled 53 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients from which peripheral venous blood was withdrawn on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 and once from the controls to obtain the serum. Serum high-mobility group box-1 concentration was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum interleukin-6 and peripheral blood leukocytes were also determined over the first 2 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients' data were recorded prospectively. Serum high-mobility group box-1 was significantly elevated in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients from day 1 to day 13 when compared with nonsubarachnoid hemorrhage patients (p < 0.05). Patients with cerebral vasospasm showed significantly higher high-mobility group box-1 starting from day 1 to day 13 when compared with patients without cerebral vasospasm. Cumulative levels of high-mobility group box-1 showed significant correlation with peripheral blood leukocytes and interleukin-6 levels (p < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that serum high-mobility group box-1 level at admission may be a predictive biomarker for cerebral vasospasm with a sensitivity of 59% and a specificity of 82% at a cutoff value of 5.6 ng/mL.
Conclusions:
Serum high-mobility group box-1 is differentially elevated after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Serum high-mobility group box-1 levels were elevated early after subarachnoid hemorrhage (day 1) and remained significantly high until day 13 in patients who developed cerebral vasospasm. Our data suggest that serum high-mobility group box-1 may be a predictive biomarker for the detection of CVS.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
