Salivary Biomarkers as Indicators of TBI Diagnosis and Prognosis: A Systematic Review

ConclusionsStudies reported changes in salivary biomarkers after traumatic brain injuries and indicated a possible link between salivary biomarker expression and traumatic brain injury severity. However, it is unclear the degree to which salivary biomarkers accurately predict traumatic brain injury diagnosis and prognosis; some studies reported significant associations while others reported weaker associations. More research into the robustness of salivary biomarkers is needed to fully elucidate their utility for the traumatic brain injury population.
