    The study analyzed 841 comatose sepsis patients to develop a 90-day mortality prediction model using LASSO and logistic regression.

  • 2

    Ninety-day mortality among the patients was found to be 22.83%, with independent risk factors including age and neurological comorbidities.

  • 3

    Cerebrovascular disease and dementia significantly modulated the prognostic value of the Glasgow Coma Scale in predicting mortality.

  • 4

    The final prediction model achieved a C-index of 0.81, outperforming existing models like SOFA and APACHE II.

  • 5

    External validation confirmed the model's transportability with a C-index of 0.75, indicating its applicability in contemporary clinical settings.
