Serum neuronal and inflammatory proteins in the patients were quantified before surgery and 3 months after surgery. Serum protein levels were compared between the DCM patients and healthy controls (n = 10).

Presurgical neurofilament light chain (NfL; 30.2 vs 11.2 pg\/ml, p = 0.01) and interleukin (IL)\u20136 (2.9 vs 1.2, p = 0.003) were significantly higher in DCM patients than in controls. Presurgical NfL, IL-6, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) best differentiated DCM and controls (p &lt; 0.001). At 3 months after surgery, serum BDNF (p = 0.001), amyloid beta 42 (p = 0.042), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (p = 0.007) were significantly increased compared to presurgical values. Presurgical serum NfL was significantly associated with improvement in pinch strength after surgery (p = 0.03).
