Role of Glial Fibrillary Acidic protein as a biomarker in differentiating intracerebral hemorrhage from ischemic stroke and stroke mimics: A meta-analysis.

Conclusion: Our meta-analysis suggests that GFAP has a promising diagnostic accuracy for the differentiation of ICH from IS and mimics. Further, phase II and phase III diagnostic test studies are required to validate the findings before using GFAP as a blood based biomarker for clinical use.Trial Registration: This study was registered in OSF registries 10.17605/OSF.IO/B9JP4.
