Glasgow Coma Scale on admission is correlated with postoperative Glasgow Outcome Scale in chronic subdural hematoma.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the correlation between admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) in chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).


METHODS
128 consecutive patients (107 men and 21 women) with CSDH were studied and the correlation between GCS on admission and postoperative GOS was determined.


RESULTS
GCS and GOS were correlated with a Spearman rank correlation coefficient of 0.557 (p<0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
GCS and GOS are well-correlated in CSDH.
