Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

When someone starts acting differently in terms of how alert or awake they are, it can be a tough situation for emergency (ER) department doctors.e exact and definitive etiologies of ALOC that can be intracranial or extracranial.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The change in terms of mental state in accordance with how alert and awake patient is termed as altered level of consciousness. Etiologies will be classified by using convenience sampling. GCS\<14 patients will be included in this study. Data will be collected through a slight modification in a pre-designed Performa. Reference point for the data collection will be the time of discharge from the emergency department. In Previous studies mostly, etiologies were classified as extracranial and intracranial. Some studies found neurological etiologies most dominant as an extra cranial and some studies found systematic infections ,metabolic causes and some demonstrated that intracranial etiologies were dominant. So, in this study we will find the definitive diagnosis in patient having ALOC which can be intracranial or extracranial. And also, it will be compared with GCS scale. This study will identify th
