Finally the outcome of traumatic brain injury patients were assessed by extended Glasgow outcome scale. Mortality (1) was seen in 42% of patients, severe disability was seen in 8% of case, moderate disability (5-6) was seen in 22% and good recovery (7-8) was seen in 28% of patients in our study.

In case of subarachnoid aneurysm hemorrhage (SAH), functional capacity is usually assessed using Rankin Scale (RS; Greebe, Rinkel, Hop, Visser-Meily, & Algra, 2010; Rankin, 1957), Functional Independence Measure (Kara, Yozbatiran, & Arda, 2007; Saciri & Kos, 2002), Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS; Jennett & Bond, 1975; Koivisto et al., 2000), and Functional Status Examination (FSE; Dikmen, Machamer, Miller, Doctor, & Temkin, 2001; Kirkness et al., 2002) as well as Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOSE; Wilson, Pettigrew, & Yeasdale, 1998) and Kamofsky Performance Scale (Chiang, Claus, & Awad, 2000; Karnofsky, 1961).
