Abstract :
[en] Assessing the evolution of severely brain-injured patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) with current tools like the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E) remains a challenge. At the bedside, the most reliable diagnostic tool is currently the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised. The CRS-R distinguishes patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) from patients in minimally conscious state (MCS) and patients who have emerged from MCS (EMCS). This international multi-centric study aims to validate a phone outcome questionnaire (POQ) based on the CRS-R and compare it to the CRS-R performed at the bedside and to the GOS-E which evaluates the level of disability and assigns patient’s in outcomes categories. The POQ will allow clinicians to probe the evolution of patient’s state of consciousness based on caregivers feedback. This research project is part of the International Brain Injury Association, Disorders of Consciousness-Special Interest Group (DOCSIG) and DOCMA consortium.
