Evaluating GCS and FOUR Score in Predicting Mortality of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients (TBI): A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital of South Malabar

This study evaluated the full outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) score and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to predict traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. Among 107 patients, FOUR and GCS grading systems analyzed emergency department patients within 24 hours. FOUR and GCS were assessed simultaneously. Patients were followed for 15 days/discharge/death to evaluate the results. Modified Rankin scores measured in-hospital mortality, morbidity, and stay. 65.42% of patients were 25-65. 10% were under 25, and 25% were over 65. Patients were 81% male. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) (90%), falls (7.48%), and assaults (1.47%) caused TBI. 19.62% died. 85.7% of 21 non-survivors had GCS
