Predictive accuracies of mental status scales (and GCS subscales) for mortality within 24-hours of a mental status observation

*P<0.001; Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with whiskers indicating 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for predicting mortality occurring within 24 hours of a mental status observation. AUCs are shown for each mental status scale, for the combination of GCS and RASS, and for the three subscales of GCS.

Abbreviations: AUC, Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; AVPU, Alert-Voice-Pain-Unresponsive; GCS, Glascow Coma Scale; RASS, Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale.
