Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the predictive value of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and the Glasgow Motor Component (GMC) for overall mortality, death on arrival, and major injury and the relationship between GCS and length of stay (LOS) in the emergency department (ED) and hospital.Methods: Records from the American College of Surgeons National Trauma Data Base from 2007 to 2009 were extracted. Patients 0 to 18 years old transported from a trauma scene with complete initial scene data were included. Statistical analysis, including construction of receiver-operator curves, determined the correlation between GCS, GMC, and the clinical outcomes of interest.Results: There were 104,035 records with complete data for analysis, including 3946 deaths. Mean patient age was 12.6 (SD, 5.5) years. Glasgow Coma Scale was predictive of overall mortality, with area under the receiver-operator curve (AUC) of 0.946 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.941-0.951); death on arrival, with AUC of 0.958 (95% CI, 0.953-0.963); and risk of major injury, with AUC of 0.720 (0.715-0.724). Lower GCS scores were associated with shorter ED LOS and longer hospital stays (P
