Glasgow outcome score (GOS)

The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) is a tool used to assess the functional outcome of patients after brain injury, particularly traumatic brain injury (TBI). It classifies patients into five categories based on their recovery level.

Score	GOS	Description
1	Death	The patient has died.
2	Vegetative State	The patient is alive but has no meaningful response to the environment. There is no evidence of awareness or purposeful movement.
3	Severe Disability	The patient is conscious but disabled. The patient requires constant assistance for daily living.
4	Moderate Disability	The patient is able to live independently but may have some physical or mental deficits. The patient can perform daily activities with minimal assistance.
5	Good Recovery	The patient has made a good recovery and is able to resume normal activities without major limitations.
