Prediction of Non-Survival After Trauma:Innsbruck Coma Scale
Lancet 338:977-978, Benzer,A.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
421 severely injured patients admitted to a major trauma centre in Innsbruck during the ten years,1981 to 1990,were investigated retrospectively for early prediction of survival by means of the Innsbruck Coma Scale(ICS).All 79 patients scoring 0 or 1 died within 21 days.The findings of this study indicate that the ICS allows a highly accurate prediction of non-survival in patients with scores of 0 or 1 even at the time of first examination after trauma.
