Assignment of the Verbal Component Score and Addition of Pupil Reaction to the Glasgow Coma Scale

Uludag University199 enrolled

Overview

In this study, it is aimed to determine the prognostic value of GCS-P and the GCS-P score, which is formed by assigning a verbal score, in patients with traumatic brain injury, where all parameters can be evaluated. In the model to be created, a new total score will be obtained with Motor score + Eye Response + assigned verbal Score-Pupil score and this score will be compared with GCS and GCS-Pupil score.

GCS-Pupil scoreDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

GCS+attributed verbal score- Step 1 to obtain pupillary score: * Patients with a motor (M) and eye-opening response (E) total score between 2 and 6 are assigned a verbal score of +1 * Patients with an M+E score of 7 are assigned a verbal score of +2 * Patients with an M+E score of 8-9 are assigned a verbal score of +4 * Patients with an M+E score of 10 are assigned a verbal score of +5 GCS+attributed verbal score- Step 2 to obtain the pupillary score: The total score is obtained by subtracting the pupil score from the score obtained in the 1st step. Pupil score is scored as follows; * 0 points if both pupils react to light, * 1 point if a pupil does not react to light and has anisocoria, * 2 points if both pupils do not react to light
