Dear Dr. Weidong:
I have read with great interest the abstract of your last paper published
in Journal of Neurotrauma (Meta-analysis of APOE4 allele and outcome after
traumatic brain injury). It would be of great value for our research group
if you could kindly send us a copy of your manuscript.

Thanks in advance four your help.
Sincerely

Meta-analysis of APOE4 allele and outcome after traumatic brain injury.
Zhou W, Xu D, Peng X, Zhang Q, Jia J, Crutcher KA.

There is conflicting evidence regarding a possible association between the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele and the consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our aim was to carry out a meta-analysis of cohort studies of sufficient rigor to determine whether the presence of the APOE4 allele contributes to initial injury severity and/or poor outcome following TBI. MEDLINE, EMBase, CBMdisc, and CNKI databases were searched for literature published from January 1993 to October 2007. Of the 100 identified studies, 14 cohort studies were selected for analysis based on comprehensive quality assessment using a standardized scale. Data from the 14 eligible cohort studies included a total of 2527 participants, 736 with and 1791 without the APOE4 allele. The APOE4 allele was not associated with initial injury severity of TBI. The pooled RR were 1.11 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91 to 1.35) for severe injury, 1.06 (95% CI, 0.86-1.31) for moderate injury and 0.93 (95% CI, 0.81-1.06) for mild injury. However, the APOE4 allele was significantly associated with a poor outcome of TBI at 6 months after injury (RR = 1.36; 95% CI, 1.04-1.78). The association remained significant in sensitivity tests. This meta-analysis indicates that the presence of the APOE4 allele is not associated with the initial severity of brain injury following TBI but is associated with increased risk of poor long-term outcome at 6 months after injury.
