Prediction of prognosis by GCS-Pupils score.

Recruiting

• Conditions: Diffuse traumatic brain injury, (2) ICD-10 Condition: S063||Focal traumatic brain injury,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2019/01/017223
• Lead Sponsor: All India Institute of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

As the GCS-pupils score retains the simplicity of original GCS while expanding the information about the severity of patient’s clinical status, we aim to assess and evaluate the role of this score in prognostication of patients having traumatic head injury. Our objectives of this study are to 1. to assess in patients with traumatic head injury, the relationship between GCS-P and outcome at 6 months and 2. to assess in patients with traumatic head injury, the relationship between GCS and outcome at 6 months. All patients above 18 years of age, admitted to neurointensive care unit within 12 hours of traumatic brain injury,will be included in the study. GCS and GCS-P score at admission will be noted along with demographics, surgical and intensive care management data. At 6 months, Outcome as assessed by GOS-E will be correlated with GCS and GCS-P.
