Abstract
Background: The goal was to increase the knowledge of Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) score in Finland, release its Finnish version and to evaluate its usefulness in Finnish ICU patients.
Materials and methods: The highest FOUR and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores of the adult ICU patients treated in Tampere University Hospital between 1st January and 31st October 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. In-hospital and 1-month mortality were the primary end-points.
Results: The Finnish version of FOUR performed comparably to previous studies. The ability of FOUR to predict mortality was equal to GCS.
Conclusions: FOUR is at least equal to GCS in predicting mortality of ICU patients.
