• INTRODUCTION: The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is widely used in the assessment of clinical severity and prediction of outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). (wi-health.eu)
  • Clinical outcome prediction normally employs static, one-size-fits-all models that perform well for the average patient but are sub-optimal for individual patients with unique characteristics. (plos.org)
  • Our objectives were: 1) to prove that analyzing only similar patients leads to better outcome prediction performance than analyzing all available patients, and 2) to characterize the trade-off between training data size and the degree of similarity between the training data and the index patient for whom prediction is to be made. (plos.org)
  • Patient outcome prediction has been identified as one of the key learning applications of big health care data [ 1 ], and plays important roles in clinical medicine as it is tightly related to intervention selection, care planning, and resource allocation. (plos.org)
  • The prediction of neurological outcomes is a crucial factor in determining treatment strategies for CA patients with ROSC. (accjournal.org)

  • Severity assessments help to reduce ineffective life-sustaining treatment and promote efficient distribution of health care resources. (accjournal.org)
  • In moderate to severe TBI, there are measures available that are useful for grading the severity of the injury whereas the scales on the mild end of the spectrum are not as helpful. (medfriendly.com)
  • The most commonly used severity index is the score on the Glasgow Coma Scale (Teasdale & Jennett, 1974) which assesses level of consciousness. (medfriendly.com)
  • In 1969, researchers developed the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) to grade the severity of individual injuries. (medscape.com)
  • Although, decisions for individual patients should never be based solely on a statistically derived injury severity score, scoring systems can nonetheless serve to estimate quantitatively the level of acuity of injured patients that are applied to adjustments in hospital outcome assessments. (medscape.com)
  • Assessing outcomes objectively is challenging, but the evolution of injury severity scoring systems with sufficient precision and reproducibility now permits trauma centers to compare their processes and outcomes, facilitating identification of best practices that form the foundations of quality improvement programs.
