Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score from eye opening (E), verbal response (V), and motor response (M) to objectively assess level of consciousness in trauma and critical care patients

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Eye opening — The eye opening recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Verbal response — The verbal response recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Motor response — The motor response recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the gcs score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the eye opening, verbal response, motor response for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score from eye opening (E), verbal response (V), and motor response (M) to objectively assess level of consciousness in trauma and critical care patients. Use the gcs score result to inform your calculation.
