Validation of motor component of Glasgow coma scale in lieu of total Glasgow coma scale as a pediatric trauma field triage tool

Prehospital trauma triage and disability assessment of pediatric patients can be challenging on the field, especially in the pre-verbal age group. It would be useful if the same triage tool and criteria can be used for both adults and children to risk-stratify the need of higher acuity of trauma care. We aimed to investigate if using only the motor component of Glasgow Coma Scale (mGCS), as a quick field trauma triage tool, was non-inferior to total GCS (tGCS), and if mGCS
