AbstractA retrospective study of 95 children less than 15 years of age with significant head injury was made to assess the value of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score trend and plantar and pupillary light reflexes during the first 24 hours after injury, in predicting eventual outcome. GCS score trend or reflexes used alone were significantly correlated to outcome. There was also a statistically significant correlation when these parameters in combination were related to outcome. However, the clinical value of the combined use of GCS score trend and reflexes was only slightly greater than the use of GCS score trend alone.
