Intraoperative values of S-100 protein, myelin basic protein, lactate, and albumin in the CSF and serum of neurosurgical patients

Table 3

Associations between CSF/serum concentrations and radiological or surgical characteristics in the total group

Radiological and surgical characteristics		Number of patients		MBP		S-100		Lactate	Qalb	S-100 (serum)
Radiological and surgical characteristics		Yes	No	MBP		S-100		Lactate	Qalb	S-100 (serum)
Oedema	20	40	0.02^3-151	—	—	0.02	—
Midline shift	18	42	0.02	—	—	0.02	—
Breaching of arachnoid	20	25	0.002	0.04	0.0003	0.05	—
Tumour volume	64	—	—	—	0.02^3-150	—	—

↵3-150 p=0.02; r=0.3;r=Spearman's correlation coefficient.
↵3-151 p Value assessed with Students t test; —= not significant. MBP=myelin basic protein; S-100=S-100 protein; Qalb=CSF/serum albumin ratio.
