Table 2. Performance of GFAP in detecting intracranial lesions on CT among different age categories.

Age Categories Proportion of CTs done in patients with head trauma Proportion of CTs with traumatic intracranial lesions Area Under the ROC Curve (95% CI)
Birth – 5 years 37/50 (74%) 6/37 (16%) 0.83 (0.56-1.00)
5.1 - 10 years 16/29 (55%) 1/16 (6%) 0.87 (0.70-1.00)
10.1 – 15 years 35/43 (81%) 6/35 (17%) 0.78 (0.60-0.95)
15.1 – 21 years 64/75 (85%) 5/64 (8%) 0.91 (0.83-0.99)

CT = computed tomography; GFAP = glial fibrillary acidic protein; ROC = receiver operating characteristic
