background cerebral state index (csi) is derived from electroencephalograms to monitor the level of consciousness during anesthesia. some evidence shows that this indicator has been used to detect cerebral ischemia and prognostic outcomes for traumatic brain injury (tbi). objectives the present study was designed to investigate the correlation between glasgow coma score (gcs) and csi for brain-...

background traumatic brain injury (tbi) is an important public health problem throughout the world. objective this study assesses repeated glasgow coma scale (gcs) scores to predict the severity of tbi and survival of the patients. materials and methods a sample of 239 patients who were hospitalized with traumatic brain injury was selected by random sampling from icu wards at shahid beheshti ho...

background traumatic brain injury (tbi) is an important public health problem throughout the world. objectives the aim of this study was to assess repeated glasgow coma scale (gcs) scores in predicting the severity of tbi and patients’ survival. patients and methods in this longitudinal study used a total sample of 239 patients, all of whom were hospitalized with traumatic brain injuries. subje...

Neurological deterioration in alert patients with an acute CNS disorder can be subtle, but current coma scales may not clearly capture changes in level of alertness. Many coma scales include components such as eye opening and content of speech, features that are difficult to assess in intubated patients and patients with facial trauma. Two new tools have been devised by the authors. The compone...

background cerebral state index (csi) is derived from electroencephalogram (eeg) and is used for monitoring the level of consciousness during anesthesia. this study was designed to investigate the accuracy of glasgow coma scale (gcs) and csi as a predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with trauma brain injury (tbi). objective to compare the predictive value of gcs and csi for predicting...

OBJECTIVE In bacterial meningitis, a decreased level of consciousness is predictive for unfavorable outcome, but the clinical features and outcome in patients presenting with a minimal score on the Glasgow Coma Scale are unknown. METHODS We assessed the incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcome of patients with bacterial meningitis presenting with a minimal score on the Glasgow Coma Sc...

Since the Glasgow Coma Scale was introduced in 1974,(1) it has become the most common method of describing a patient's level of consciousness. However, despite its almost universal use, there remain a number of misunderstandings, particularly regarding the appropriate situations in which to use the Glasgow Coma Score rather than the Scale, and also in the correct way to elicit and record the mo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A number of scores were developed to predict outcomes after clipping for subarachnoid hemorrhages, yet there is no score for patients undergoing endovascular treatment. Our goal was to develop, compare, and validate a predictive score for 1-year outcomes in patients with coiled subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS We studied 526 patients for 1 year after intensive care unit...
