Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of serum tissue factor pathway inhibitor-1(TFPI-1)combined with nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)in severe traumatic brain injury(STBI).Methods The medical re-cords of 127 patients with STBI admitted to the hospital from July 2022 to August 2024 were retrospectively ana-lyzed and followed up for 6 months.They were divided into poor prognosis group(n=53)and good prognosis group(n=74)according to the prognosis of STBI patients.The serum NF-κB level,clinical data and serum TFPI-1 level of the two groups were compared.The factors affecting the adverse prognosis of STBI patients was screened,and the value of serum NF-κB and serum TFPI-1 in predicting the adverse prognosis of STBI patients were ana-lyzed.Results The serum NF-κB level in the poor prognosis group was higher than good prognosis group,and the serum TFPI-1 level was lower than good prognosis group(P<0.05).The proportion of patients aged>60 years old was higher than good prognosis group(P<0.05).Serum TFPI-1 level(OR=0.328,95%CI:0.156～0.689)was a protective factor for poor prognosis in STBI patients(P<0.05),serum NF-κB level(OR=3.773,95%CI:1.797～7.924)and age>60 years(OR=3.543,95%CI:1.687～7.441)were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in STBI patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum TFPI-1 and NF-κB levels and their combined prediction of poor prognosis in STBI patients were 0.784,0.847 and 0.931,respectively(P<0.05),and the AUC value of the combined TFPI-1 and NF-κB levels was higher(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum NF-κB combined with serum TFPI-1 has higher prognostic value in STBI patients.
