Prehospital GCS Scores Predict Trauma Mortality Effectively

Early assessment using the Glasgow Coma Scale motor score proves crucial for predicting mortality outcomes after trauma. A machine-learning model analyzing factors within three hours, 24 hours, and 30 days highlights the initial GCS motor score and worst GCS as consistent mortality predictors. Their efficacy spans the leading causes of death, including traumatic brain injury and uncontrolled hemorrhage. This groundbreaking predictive model underscores the potential to optimize resource allocation for trauma care.
