  • Title: Early prediction of outcome from coma.
    Author: Diringer MN.
    Journal: Curr Opin Neurol Neurosurg; 1992 Dec; 5(6):826-30. PubMed ID: 1467574.
    Abstract:
    It is increasingly important to be able to predict early in the course of illness a patient's outcome from coma. Potential indicators include clinical scales, electrophysiologic responses, and cerebral blood flow and metabolism. Our current knowledge provides some understanding of the ultimate impact of the illness, but is of limited assistance in decisions regarding initiation or withdrawal of therapy.
