Novel approach to an early assessment of a patient's potential for neurological remission after acute spinal cord injury: Analysis of hemoglobin concentration dynamics.

Conclusion: Elevated Hb concentrations are associated with a higher likelihood of neurological remission. Elevated concentrations of Hb in G1 compared to G0 over time might be linked to both a better initial oxygen supply response and a decreased ECM (extracellular matrix) degradation highlighting the role of Hb as a valuable biomarker for neural regeneration after TSCI.
