Abstract Introduction The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) provides a structured method for
assessment of the level of consciousness. Its derived sum score is applied in research and …

OBJECTIVES: Critically ill patients are at high risk of acute brain injury. Bedside
multimodality neuromonitoring techniques can provide a direct assessment of physiologic …

In nearly all clinical and research contexts, the initial severity of a traumatic brain injury (TBI)
is measured using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) total score. The GCS total score …

Background: The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) classifies traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) as
mild (14–15), moderate (9–13), or severe (3–8). The Advanced Trauma Life Support …

Objective Many patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) have pre-existing or
acquired neurological disorders which significantly affect their short-term and long-term …

Conclusion In 1978, the creators of the GCS said,“We have never recommended using the
GCS alone, either as a means of monitoring coma, or to assess the severity of brain damage …

Abstract Background The Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) has been proposed as
an alternative for the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)/Glasgow Liège Scale (GLS) in the …

Severe brain injury is associated with a period of impaired level of consciousness that can
last from days to months and results in chronic impairment. Systematic assessment of level …

BACKGROUND: The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) characterizes patients with diminished
consciousness. In a recent systematic review, we found overall adequate reliability across …

Objective Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are largely underdiagnosed and may have
persistent refractory consequences. Current assessments for acute TBI are limited to …
