This study was performed to define the correlation between the level of consciousness based on Glasgow coma scale ( GCS), Glasgow outcome scale( GOS) and leukocyte count. Two hundred and thirty three patients ( female: 48, male: 185) ranged between 1-75 years old were studied. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between increasing leukocyte count and GCS ( n=233.r= .0.3, p <0.001) and a positive correlation between increasing leukocyte count and GOS ( n=233, r= .0.2, p<0.05). These findings reveal that leukocyte count has prognostic value in patients with head injury.
