Modeling Outcome in Patients With Acquired Brain Injuries

"The study will involve at the time of entry into the rehabilitation setting, the collection of data related to demographic and clinical variables assessing:~1. The Level of responsiveness (Coma Recovery Scale -revised (CRS-r);~2. Cognitive functioning (Levels of Cognitive Functioning, LCF);~3. disability (Disability Rating Scale, DRS);~4. level of care needed (Early Rehabilition Barthel Index, ERBI)~The Final outcome measure will be the Glasgow Outcome Scale- Extended (GOSE). It will also collect data on clinical variables and presence of medical devices (e.g. decompressive craniectomy, hydrocephalus, tracheostomy, respiration). For all evaluations, two monthly timepoints will be conducted for a total of 12 timepoints until discharge (0 -6 months). If the patient will be hospitalized for more than 6 months, the assessment will be done monthly up to 12 months."
