Abstract
Neurologic status is one of the major prognostic factors in glioblastoma patients; however, no consensus exists on a clinical index for predicting patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between neurologic deficits and clinical outcomes in glioblastoma patients, and to develop a prognostic neurologic index for identifying patients with poor outcomes.
