S100B levels were independently correlated with intracranial pathology, but also with the extent of extracranial injury. Length of stay and ISS were both correlated with the admission levels of S100B in bicycle trauma, suggesting S100B to be a good marker of aggregated injury severity. Further studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
