Interpreting traumatic brain injury severity: analysis of the correlation between Glasgow coma scale and abbreviated injury scale
The correlation between physiological alterations (GCS) and anatomical brain damage (AIS) in patients with TBI patients, represented by the GCS and AIS respectively, is weak. Additionally, the GCS appears to underestimate the severity of AIS coded severe TBI. Recognizing this limited correlation is important for valid TBI research.
