Accuracy of Admission Glasgow Coma Scale to Predict Aspiration Pneumonia in Poisoned Patients

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

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...

Lack of prognostic role for Glasgow coma scale, serum acetylcholinesterase and leukocyte levels in acute organophosphorus Toxicological ICU poisoned patients

Self-poisoning with organophosphorus (OPs) pesticide is a serious clinical problem across Asian countries. The aim of the present study was to assess the value of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), serum acetylcholinesterase (SChE) and leukocyte on the length of stay and mortality due to OP poisoning as a prognostic value. We studied acutely OP-poisoned patients who had been admitted to the toxicolo...

Good mortality prediction by Glasgow Coma Scale for neurosurgical patients.

BACKGROUND How to effectively use the finite resources of an intensive care unit (ICU) for neurosurgical patients is a critical decision-making process. Mortality prediction models are effective tools for allocating facilities. This study intended to distinguish the prediction power of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (S...

Glasgow Coma Scale Scoring is Often Inaccurate.

INTRODUCTION The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is widely applied in the emergency setting; it is used to guide trauma triage and for the application of essential interventions such as endotracheal intubation. However, inter-rater reliability of GCS scoring has been shown to be low for inexperienced users, especially for the motor component. Concerns regarding the accuracy and validity of GCS scoring...
