ABSTRACT
A clinical analysis was carried out retrospectively with 54 cases of severe head injured patients(Glasgow Coma Scale score 3 to 8) to identify prognostic factors. Unawareness for over 1 month, abnormal papillary reaction, abnormal motor response pattern, and diffuse head injury with basal cisternal compression prove to be the most reliable predictors. Individual predictions of outcome provide a powerful too for assessing the relative efficacy of alternative treatments.
Key Words: Severe head injury; Unawareness; Pupil; Motor response; Basal cisternal compression
