One possibility, but it seems non-credible, is that as you know mGCS is more diagnostic than the other components and they have added an enrollment criteria that says that to get in as a GCS 7 or 8 your mGCS has to be <5

I think the answer to my own question is that Pharmos did indeed find a way to admit only the sicker GCS 7 and 8 patients. I believe they changed the criteria for CT - the score required remained the same but in the Ph II the entrance criteria were any >=2 except one type of very superficial injury (epidural haematoma?), but in the Ph III the entrance criteria were changed to be >=2 with visible parenchimal(sp?) damage (and/or Subarachnoid Hemmorage - Pharmos isn't entirely clear on this or maybe I don't understand the terms well enough).

Anyone remember any of the details about this change in entrance criteria?
