Abstract：Objective To investigate the correlation of serum calmodulin(CaM)level with the con-dition and prognosis of patients with severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI).Methods A total of 208 elderly sTBI patients admitted to the Geriatric Hospital and Puren Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from January 2021 to June 2023 were enrolled,and after 3 months'follow-up,192 cases were finally included in this study.According to their progno-sis,they were divided into poor prognosis group(n=56)and good prognosis group(n=136).Their general data were collected,and serum CaM level was measured by ELISA.Pearson correla-tion analysis was used to study the correlation between the level and the disease condition.Multi-variate logistic regression model was employed to screen the prognosis related factors of sTBI pa-tients,and restricted cubic spline was applied to fit the relationship between serum CaM level and prognosis of sTBI patients.Results Midline shift,significantly lower CaM level and acute physi-ology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,and obviously higher Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score and albumin level were observed in the good prognosis group than the poor prognosis group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum CaM level was negatively correlated with condition of sTBI(r=-0.804,P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that APACHE Ⅱ score(OR=1.248,95％CI:1.076-1.447,P=0.003)and ser-um CaM level(OR=1.030,95％CI:1.017-1.044,P=0.001)were risk factors for prognosis,while,GCS score(OR=0.730,95％CI:0.536-0.994,P=0.045)and serum albumin level(OR=0.730,95％CI:0.649-0.822,P=0.001)were protective factors for poor prognosis in sTBI pa-tients.Restricted cubic spline revealed that there was a linear dose-response relationship between serum CaM level and prognosis of sTBI patients(X2=27.080,P＜0.01).Conclusion Serum CaM level is correlated with sTBI disease and prognosis.
