Glasgow-Liege Scores

Brain Stem Reflex	Finding	Score
fronto-orbicular reflex	on one side	5
vertical oculocephalic reflex	in one eye	4
papillary light reflex	in one eye	3
horizontal oculocephalic reflex	in one eye	2
oculocardiac reflex	present	1
oculocardiac reflex	absent	0

 

Glasgow-Liege Scale =

= (Glasgow Coma Scale) + (Brain Stem Reflex Score)

 

where:

• maximum score = maximum GCS + maximum BSRS = 15 + 5 = 30

• minimum score = minimum GCS + minimum BSRS = 3 + 0 = 3

 

probability of a good recovery or moderate disability =

= (1 / (1 + (e ^ (S1)) + (e ^ (S2))))

 

probability of severe disability or vegetative state =

= (e ^ (S2)) * (1 / (1 + (e ^ (S1)) + (e ^ (S2))))

 

probability of death =

= (e ^ (S1)) * (1 / (1 + (e ^ (S1)) + (e ^ (S2))))

 

where:

• S1 = 10.00 - (1.63 * (Glasgow-Liege Scale)) + (0.16 * (age in years))

• S2 = 6.30 - (1.00 * (Glasgow-Liege Scale)) + (0.08 * (age in years))
