ABSTRACT
A prospective analysis of 106 patients with head injury whose initial Glasgow Coma Scale was 3 to 10, who were managed in a uniform way was analyzed to relate out come to initial Glasgow Coma Scale, combined injuries and secondary systemic insults characterized by serum electrolytes imbalance, arterial gas study, blood pressure, and hemoglobin and hematocrit. The good recovery or moderate disability were achieved by 37% of the patients. The remaining 63% resulted in severe disability, vegetable and death. The poor out come group in comparing with the good outcome group showed lower initial Glasgow Coma Scale and more combined injuries. The five week follow up of secondary systemic insults mean flow showed higher serum Na flow and lower arterial PaO2 flow in poor outcome group.
Key Words: Glasgow coma scale; Glasgow outcome scale; Secondary systemic insult
