Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disability Rating Scale total score6 months post injuryThe Disability Rating Scale (DRS) provides quantitative information regarding functional disability in patients recovering from severe brain injury. The total score on the DRS ranges from 0 to 29 with higher scores indicating a greater degree of disability. DRS subscale scores include eye opening \[score range 0-3\], communication \[score range 0-4\], motor response \[score range 0-5\], cognitive ability for feeding \[score range 0-3\], cognitive ability for toileting \[score range 0-3\], cognitive ability for grooming \[score range 0-3\], level of function \[score range 0-5\], and employability \[score range 0-3\]. Subscale scores are summed to produce the total score.
