Brief summary
The aim of this study was to investigate diagnostic accuracy of the vegetative and minimally conscious state: Clinical consensus versus standardized neurobehavioral assessment
Detailed description
In this study, DOC patients with clinical consensus of DOC were enrolled. The investigators used Coma Recovery Scale-revision (CRS-R) to assess consciousness levels for all DOC patients during ten days.
Interventions

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessed by the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised | Within 10 days | All patients were assessed by the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised within 10 days to detect the consciousness level. CRS-R consists of six sub-scales with 23 items, which evaluate the patients' auditory, visual, motor, Oromotor/Verbal, communication and arousal functions. For each subscale, the lower score reflected reflexivity related to the brain stem, while the higher score reflected non-reflexivity related to higher cortical functions (0-23). |
