SAPS II and APACHE II significantly outperformed SOFA, while no significant differences were observed among SAPS II, APACHE II, GCS and GCS-P. For patients with supratentorial lesions, APACHE II, SAPS II, GCS and GCS-P showed similar predictive accuracy, all superior to SOFA. For infratentorial lesions, SOFA outperformed GCS and GCS-P. Among patients with cerebrovascular diseases, SOFA had the lowest predictive accuracy, while GCS-P outperformed GCS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
