The value of the Glasgow coma scale is definite and widely accepted. It is a help in teaching a difficult subject, in mutual understanding in a few words, and in comparison of cases. It uses accurate and practical observations. It is the best method of measuring the state of consciousness, provided observation of the diameter and light reaction of the pupils is added It avoids what Jamieson and Yelland feared in 1968. "It is tragic if the wardmaid assesses deterioration by recognizing that a patient is not as bright now as earlier while trained staff await the development of the next stage in their preconceived, rigid scale of deterioration."
格拉斯哥昏迷量表的价值明确且被广泛认可。它有助于教授一门难懂的学科，能用寥寥数语促进相互理解，还能用于病例比较。它采用准确且实用的观察方法。它是测量意识状态的最佳方法，前提是增加对瞳孔直径和光反应的观察。它避免了杰米森和耶兰德在1968年所担心的情况。“如果病房女仆通过意识到患者现在不如之前机灵来评估病情恶化，而训练有素的工作人员却在等待他们预先设定的、僵化的恶化量表中下一个阶段的发展，那将是悲剧。”
