Comparison of Alert-Verbal-Painful-Unresponsiveness Scale and the Glasgow Coma Score.

ABSTRACT

To determine how the AVPU (alert, verbal, painful, unresponsiveness) scale corresponds to Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), we compared the two scales. Two months to 12 years old patients were included in the study. The median GCS score (inter quartile range) for A/V/P/U were 14 (12-15), 11 (10-12), 6 (5.5-8) and 3 (3-4), respectively.
