- Abstract
The simplified motor score (SMS) is a three-point measure of traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity, which is easier to calculate than the 15-point Glasgow coma scale (GCS). Using a state trauma registry, the accuracy of the emergency medical services (EMS)-obtained SMS was compared with the GCS for predicting neurological outcomes and mortality.
