Initially developed by Teasdale and Jennett in 1974, the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a neurological injury scoring system developed to assess the level of consciousness in a patient who has sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) (Teasdale and Jennett 1974). Prior to this time, the patient’s state of consciousness was not quantified, but was comprised of written observations in the medical chart.

TBI patients are categorized according to a score called the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). GCS is the summation of three scores; motor performance, verbal responses, and eye-opening and has a range between 3 and 15 where 3–8 indicates severe TBI, 9–12 defines moderate TBI and 13–15 shows mild TBI (Yamamoto et al., 2018).

Five studies described length of hospital stay or using an injury severity scale (Table 4). The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is a 75-point scoring system based on anatomical location and the squared Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) value of the top three injuries where the higher the ISS, the more severe the injury (Baker, O’Neill, Haddon, & Long, 1974). The Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) grades the severity of child injury by measuring six components with a lower score indicating higher mortality risk, the minimum score is −6 and the maximum score is +12 (Tepas, Ramenofsky, Mollitt, Gans, & DiScala, 1988). The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) assesses brain functioning and ranges from 3 to 15 based on eye opening, verbal, and motor response; a lower GCS indicates a more severe injury (Jennett, 2002). The AIS uses a 6-point injury scale, with 1 indicating a minor injury and 6 a fatal event (Committee on Injury Scaling, 1980).
