The 'Glasgow Outcome Score' (GOS) is a scale so that patients with brain injuries, such as cerebral traumas can be divided into groups that allow standardised descriptions of the objective degree of recovery. The first description was in 1975 by Jennett and Bond.
Application
The Glasgow Outcome Score applies to patients with brain damage allowing the objective assessment of their recovery in five categories. This allows a prediction of the long-term course of rehabilitation to return to work and everyday life.
