OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our aim is to understand the role bilirubin oxidation products play in the development of cerebral vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. We aim to evaluate the time course of bilirubin, HO-1, and SOD1 in relation to the subsequent development of vasospasm in to establish predictors of vasospasm development. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Prospective cohort observational study involving collection of CSF samples of pts admitted to KU NeuroICU with SAH and placement of EVD. CSF will be extracted from the EVD of patients on the day of placement of the EVD, and then each subsequent day for a total of 10 days. Bilirubin concentration will be determined by means of spectrophotometry. HO-1 will be measured using a commercially available ELISA kit. Cu/Zn-Superoxide Dismutase will be measured using a commercially available ELISA kit. A review of patients chart will then be performed following discharge from hospital to determine if a diagnosis of vasospasm was made, details of the vasospasm (i.e. symptoms, severity), as well as to obtain demographic data and events occurring during patients admission that could confound statistical analysis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: First: we will investigate the feasibility of collecting serial CSF samples and processing them for target analyte quantification. We predict that the protocol will yield quality data that will result in insight on the pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm. Second: we will characterize the changes in target CSF bilirubin breakdown analytes over 10 days. From this we hypothesize that as bilirubin oxidation increases, the propensity for cerebral vasospasm will also increase. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: If there is a clear correlation between formation of bilirubin and increase in HO-1, and SOD1, with the clinical signs of vasospasm, this could be used as a biomarker for not only identifying patients at risk for developing these complications but also a means to follow the effectiveness of potential therapies.
