Abstract

Little has been written on the outcome of the survivors of major trauma accidents. The Glasgow outcome scale has been used to assess outcome following neurotrauma. This study of 90 patients reviewed at an average of 3.2 years post-injury used a modified form of the Glasgow outcome scale expanded to include all abbreviated injury score body areas. The average injury severity score was 23.3. The majority of patients had a satisfactory outcome.
