Glasgow Coma Scale and Its Components on Admission: Are They Valuable Prognostic Tools in Acute Mixed Drug Poisoning?
Introduction. The verbal, eye, and motor components of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) may be influenced by poisoned patients' behavior in an attempted suicide. So, the values of admission GCS and its components for outcomes prediction in mixed drugs poisoning were investigated. Materials and Methods. A followup study data was performed on patients with mixed drugs poisoning. Outcomes were recorded as...

I read with interest the study performed by EizadiMood et al. recently published in Critical Care Research and Practice [1]. The authors investigated the value of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) on admission and its components (verbal, eye, and motor) in prediction of the outcome in mixed-drug poisonings. They found that the patients without complications had a greater mean value of GCS on admission a...
full textThe prognostic value of the Glasgow coma scale, serum acetylcholinesterase and leukocyte levels in acute organophosphorus poisoning
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Organophosphate poisoning (OP) is a serious clinical condition that may sometimes be fatal. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Glasgow coma scale (GCS), and serum acetylcholinesterase and leukocyte levels have prognostic value in acute OP poisoning. DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective review of records of patients admitted to the intensive care unit of S...
full textThe prognostic value of the components of the Glasgow Coma Scale following acute stroke.
BACKGROUND The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is widely used in assessing level of consciousness. The GCS verbal component may be misleading in acute stroke: a focal neurological deficit leading to dysphasia could affect the score, independently of level of consciousness. AIM To investigate the relationship, in all strokes and in dysphasic patients, between stroke outcome and total GCS (with and wi...
full textAssociation 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...
full textPredicting outcome in acute organophosphorus poisoning with a poison severity score or the Glasgow coma scale.
BACKGROUND Organophosphorus (OP) pesticide poisoning kills around 200,000 people each year, principally due to self-poisoning in the Asia-Pacific region. AIM We wished to assess whether patients at high risk of death could be identified accurately using clinical parameters soon after hospital admission. DESIGN We evaluated the usefulness of the International Program on Chemical Safety Poiso...
