The Markwalder grading [[score]] used as a prognostic score in [[chronic subdural hematoma]] is:

Grade 0: Neurologically normal

Grade 1: Alert and orientated: absence of mild symptoms such as headache, or mild neurological deficit such as reflex asymmetry

Grade 2: Drowsy or disorientated, or variable neurological deficit such as hemiparesis

Grade 3: Stuporous, but responding appropriately to noxious stimuli, several focal signs such as hemiplegia

Grade 4: Comatose with absent motor responses to painful stimuli, decerebrate or decorticate posturing
