    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for predicting the neurological outcome of a patient after cardiac arrest, the method comprising the step(s) of: (I) a) determining the level of alpha-enolase in a biological sample obtained from a patient after cardiac arrest; and b) comparing the level of alpha-enolase obtained in (a) with the median or mean level of alpha-enolase in biological samples from patients with positive neurological outcome after cardiac arrest, wherein said patient is diagnosed as having a negative neurological outcome if the alpha-enolase level is increased by at least 100% over the median or mean level of alpha-enolase, and/or a positive neurological outcome if the alpha-enolase level is below 150% as compared to the median or mean level of alpha-enolase; or (II) determining the level of alpha-enolase in a biological sample obtained from a patient after cardiac arrest, wherein said patient is diagnosed as having a negative neurological outcome if the alpha-enolase level is above 50 ?g/L
