Scores and categories on the outcome measurements and recovery of consciousness according to Coma Recovery Scale-Revised criteria at discharge.
Patients are categorized into three groups according to initial neurobehavioral diagnosis at admission using the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised and the Motor Behavior Tool: clinical Cognitive Motor Dissociation (CMD); Disorders of Consciousness (DOC); Non-DOC. (A) Score on the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) range from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating good recovery; Category on the Early Barthel Index (ERBI) range from -325 to 100, with 100 indicating complete functional independence; Category on the Disability Rating Scale (DRS) range from 0 to 29, with 0 indicating absence of disability; Category on the Rancho Los Amigos Levels of Cognitive Functioning (LCF) range from 1 to 10, with 10 indicating modified independent; Category on the Functional Ambulation Classification Scale (FAC) range from 0 to 5, with 5 indicating ambulator-independent; Score on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) range from 0 to 6, with 0 indicating no symptoms. Good outcomes were considered as GOS > = 4, ERBI ≥ -75, DRS< = 11, LCF ≥ 6, FAC ≥ 2 and mRS ≤ 3. The red range corresponds to score/category considered as poor. The blue range corresponds to score/category considered as good. (B) Recovery of Consciousness according to CRS-R criteria per CMD and DOC groups. UWS = unresponsive wakefulness syndrome; MCS = minimally conscious state; EMCS = emergence from minimally conscious state.
