Common indicators of TBI severity include Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, length of coma (LOC) and duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA). Objective: To compare GCS, LOC and PTA by examining ...
Researchers have investigated if correlations exist between variables in the acute stage of injury and outcome measures in TBI patients. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is one variable that was ...
Results: A total of 172 (cluster 1), 791 (cluster 2), and 636 (cluster 3) TBI patients were divided into three clusters with the following percentages, 10.8%, 49.5%, and 39.8%, respectively. Cluster 1 ...
Classification is a core concept that underpins our understanding of the mechanistic heterogeneity of TBI and, thus, optimal management and accurate prognostication. Currently, the Glasgow Coma Scale ...
Background: Age and the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission are considered important predictors of outcome after traumatic brain injury. We investigated the predictive value of the GCS in a ...
Abbreviated injury scale (AIS) was recorded for all patients. Patients were categorised into those older and younger than 65 years on presentation. Distribution of GCS, categorised into severe (GCS ...
Patients with TBI were selected using ICD-9 (code 85 ... renal disease, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, and Acute Physiology ...
We enrolled 238 patients older than 16 years with moderate to severe TBI (post-resuscitation Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 4 to 12) who had a computerized tomography (CT) brain scan within eight hours ...
