Table 1.

The correlation between selected caspases concentration and the Glasgow Coma Score (GCS).

Scoring system	Caspase concentration in 7th day after TBI	Spearman correlation test
		R	p =
Glasgow Coma Score	Caspase-3	−0.81	0.0001
	Caspase-6	−0.72	0.0014
	Caspase-8	−0.65	0.0061
	Caspase-9	−0.52	0.0402

Spearman's rank correlation was computed to assess the relationship between GCS and selected caspases concentration. There was negative correlation between caspase 3 (r (14) = −0.81, p = 0.0001), caspase 6 (r (14) = −0.72, p = 0.0014), caspase 8 (r (14) = −0.0.65, p = 0.0061) and caspase 9 (r (14) = −0.52, p = 0.0402) and the Glasgow Coma Score. BALF, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid; TBI, traumatic brain injury.
