comparison of the glasgow coma scale with full outline of unresponsiveness in predicting in-hospital mortality of patients with cerebrovascular accident in intensive care units

Background: full outline of unresponsiveness (four) scale is a strong predictor of hospital patients’ mortality, survival rate, and prognosis. objectives: the aim of this study was to compare four and gcs scores in predicting in-hospital mortality in cerebrovascular accident (cva) patients admitted to intensive care units. methods: a total of 197 cva patients were enrolled in this prospective study. each patient was evaluated with four and gcs. the area under the roc curve was determined for in-hospital mortality outcomes. results: the mean age of the patients was 71.00 ± 12.68 years, and 64% were male and 36% were female. the sensitivity of four and gcs was 94.12% and 90.59% respectively. the area under the roc curve was 0.841 for four scale and 0.815 for gcs. conclusions: the results of our study showed that four scale is a functional tool for evaluating and predicting in-hospital mortality in cva patients, and it enjoys high sensitivity and specificity. however, further studies are warranted.
