    The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE) are used to assess outcomes after brain injury. [1] The GOS has 5 categories - Good Recovery, Moderate Disability, Severe Disability, Vegetative State, and Death. The 8-point GOSE expands on the GOS categories with more detailed criteria. [2] It assesses a patient's ability to resume work and social/leisure activities and independence after injury. [3] The scales provide a standardized measurement of functional recovery and dependence levels after brain injury.
