A New Scale Based on CT Classification and the Glasgow Coma Scale to Extract Non-preventable Trauma Death in TRISS Methodology

The Prognostic Value of Admission Glasgow Coma Scale and AVPU in Acute Drug Poisoning Patients

mechanism of injury, glasgow coma scale, age, and systolic blood pressure: a new trauma scoring system to predict mortality in trauma patients

conclusions the mgap scoring system can be used as an appropriate scoring system to predict mortality in triage trauma patients. results patients were divided into three groups : scores of less than 18, 18 - 22 and greater than 22; in which the mortality rates were 75.2%, 9.5% and 0.1%, respectively (p < 0.0001). the best cut-off point was 22 in our study, and the mgap scoring system had 93.7% ...

Association Between Serum Electrolyte Disturbances and Glasgow Coma Scale Score in Patients With Diffuse Axonal Injury

Background: Appropriate clinical measures to prevent secondary brain damage in traumatic brain injury are of critical importance. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationships between serum electrolyte disturbances and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score in patients with Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) at the time of admission and discharge. Materials & Methods: In this retrospective cr...

Cheerio, laddie! Bidding farewell to the Glasgow Coma Scale.

It is time to abandon the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). As discussed below, this ubiquitous neurologic scoring system is confusing, unreliable, and unnecessarily complex, and its manner of common clinical use is statistically unsound. Teasdale and Jennett devised the GCS in 1974 not for acute care, but rather for the “repeated bedside assessment” in a neurosurgical unit to detect “changing states” ...
