FIG. 1. — GOS-E outcomes across time among survivors with data at 24 months. Severe TBI survivors show a significant progressive increase in favorable functional outcome from 3 to 24 months. There were 10% of survivors in a vegetative state (GOS-E of 2) at 3 months and only 1% by 2 years. Again, at 3 months, there were 49% of survivors within the lower severe disability (GOS-E of 3) category, which decreased to 17% by 2 years. We dichotomized survivors into two groups; those with unfavorable outcomes (GOS-E scores 1–3) and favorable outcomes (GOS-E scores 4–8), which the black line delineates. Over half of the survivors fell within the unfavorable group at 3 months. However, this percentage decreased to 26% by 2 years. More important, the percentage of survivors with favorable outcomes increased from 42% at 3 months to 74% at 2 years. This figure is among survivors with data at 24 months accounting for the difference in number of survivors at each time point. N = 134 at 3 months, N = 142 at 6 months, N = 143 at 12 months, and N = 173 at 24 months. GOS-E, Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended; TBI, traumatic brain injury.
