The Glasgow Coma Scale provides a quick and simple way to assess the level of consciousness of a brain-injured patient and to predict that patient's social outcome. The information provided by such prediction of prognosis can help primary care physicians choose the appropriate therapeutic regimen and also allows investigators to compare alternative regimens.
