1 ± 2.7 [ P < 0.05]; GCS, 6.2 ± 2.1 versus 8.1 ± 1.2 [ P < 0.05]).
APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; CI = confidence interval; DNR = 'do not resuscitate'; GCS = Glasgow Coma Score; ICU = intensive care unit; LOS = length of stay; MPM = Mortality Probability Model; ROC = receiver operating characteristic; SAPS = Simplified Acute Physiology Score; SMR = standardized mortality ratio.
The need for accurate prediction of mortality in non-traumatic coma by GCS was identified by Plum and Levy in 1978 [ 18].
The variability of GCS determination in sedated patients accounts for much of the variability in scoring APACHE II.
A number of studies [ 13, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26] have emphasized the importance of aetiology, which, together with GCS, represents a good combination for better prediction of mortality.
