The ability to predict outcome in the early stages of severe head injury would have several uses. A computerized system which has been developed in Glasgow to assist clinicians in this task, based on information from over 2500 severely head‐injured patients, is described, with particular attention to the testing of the statistical properties of the system, and, more importantly, the assessment of its clinical impact.
