Aim: The objective of the present research was to evaluate variations in hospital stay as well as morbidity based on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Full Outline of Un-Responsive (FOUR) scores for patients who had traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Materials And Methods: A total of 107 patients with TBI patients who attended the emergency department of MES Medical College, Perinthalmanna, were enrolled into the study. FOUR and GCS scoring systems were used to assess the patients within 24 hours of the presentation to the emergency department. Both FOUR and GCS scoring systems were assessed at the same time. The outcome was measured in terms of length of hospital stay and morbidity, which was assessed using modified Rankin score. Chi-square test was used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. A value <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: We found a strong positive correlation between GCS and FOUR score with a Spearman coefficient of 0.9. Comparison of AUC between GCS score and FOUR score showed a statistically significant difference ( = 0.0044), predicting that FOUR score was a better predictor of hospital stay (>15 days) than GCS score. Comparison of AUC between GCS score and FOUR score showed a significant statistical difference ( = 0.0002), showing that FOUR score was a better predictor of morbidity than GCS.
Conclusion: FOUR score was a better predictor of hospital stay and morbidity as compared to GCS score.

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) is the second most common cause of cerebrovascular disease after ischemic stroke, with high mortality and disability rates, imposing a significant economic burden on families and society. This retrospective study aimed to develop and evaluate an interpretable machine learning model to predict functional outcomes 3 months after SICH.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 380 patients with SICH who were hospitalized at three different centers between June 2020 and June 2023.

To develop and evaluate a predictive model for intensive care unit (ICU) admission among patients with acute sedative-hypnotic overdose. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients admitted to the emergency department of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, between October 11, 2009, and December 31, 2023. Patients were divided into ICU and non-ICU groups based on admission criteria including the need for blood purification therapy, organ support therapy (ventilatory support, vasoactive drugs, renal replacement therapy, artificial liver), or post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are routinely used to treat hematological malignancies; however, long-term treatment with GCs can lead to atrophic and metabolic adverse effects. Selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists (SEGRAs) with reduced side effects may act as a superior alternative to GCs. More than 30 SEGRAs have been described so far, yet none of them reached clinical trials for anti-cancer treatment.
