Figurre 2 Association of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) with outcomes in heatstroke(A). Kaplan-Meier Curve. Patients with GCS ≤8 at admission had poorer clinical outcomes. (B). Kinetics of GCS. GCSs in non-surviving patients were significantly lower than those in surviving patients. (C). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROCs). GCSs on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days after admission predicted mortality. (D). Improved GCS predicted better clinical outcomes. The figures were drawn using the SPSS 20.0 for windows and EmpowerStats 2.0 software.
