A biobank of 398 adult trauma patients was analyzed.

Serum samples obtained upon admission, 15h and 72h after were analyzed for sCD163 using an in-house ELISA. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association between admission levels of sCD163 with, 1: overall trauma severity (ISS), and 2: severity of injury to specified organs using Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The association between the peak level of sCD163 with 1-year all-cause mortality was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Median admission levels of sCD163 were higher in trauma patients than trauma controls [2.32 (IQR 1.73 to 2.86) vs. 1.92 (IQR 1.41 to 2.51) mg/L, <i>p</i> < 0.01]. Worsening GCS score was associated with a 10.3% (95% CI: 17.0 to 3.1, <i>p</i> < 0.01) increase in sCD163. Increasing Head-AIS score was associated with a 5.1% (95% CI: -0.5 to 11.0, <i>p</i> = 0.07) increase in sCD163. The remaining AIS scores and ISS were not consistently associated with sCD163 admission levels. Each mg/L increase in sCD163 peak level had an odds ratio 1.34 (95%CI: 0.98 to 1.83), <i>p</i> = 0.06) after adjustment for age, sex, and GCS. Circulating sCD163 is increased in traumatized patients and associated with worsening GCS.
