Neurofilament light chain for classifying the aetiology of alteration of consciousness

Abstract

= 0.14). The multivariable regression model using cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain and other basic clinical data achieved an area under the curve of 0.90 (95% confidence interval 0.83-0.98). In conclusion, neurofilament light chain classified causes of alteration of consciousness with moderate accuracy. Nevertheless, including other basic clinical data to construct a model improved the performance to a level that was comparable to clinical neurologists.
