Abstract: Background and Objectives: To study the physical traits, prognoses, and etiology of coma patients.
Methods: A prospective observational experiment was conducted, including all 60 subjects with a (GCS) score of less than 10 who presented in the hospital.
Results: Male mortality (n=29/33) exceeds female mortality (n=25/27) due to men experiencing work-related stress, lifestyle changes, and dietary habits earlier. patients who had a (GCS) score of less than 5 had a mortality rate of 100%. Out of the 29 patients with a GCS score of 5 to 7, only 5 survived. It signifies adverse outcomes and decreased GCS scale.
Conclusion: There is no statistical correlation between age, gender, and performance. The majority of individuals were over the age of 40. Intracranial causes were the primary factors contributing to the majority of deaths. The patients with hyponatremia and neuroinfection showed positive outcomes. Hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity, followed by type 2 diabetes. Patients with chronic renal illness who had a (GCS) score below 10 experienced a mortality rate of 100%. A (GCS) score of less than 5 resulted in a death rate of 100%. Poor outcomes were observed due to atypical respiration and absence of pupil reflexes.
