Abstract

The Disability Rating (DR) and Coma/Near-Coma (C/NC) scales for evaluating severe head injury are described. Scales are related to patient status, course and outcome and also underlying electroneurophysiological dysfunction. They lend themselves to high inter-rater reliability with brief training and can be completed in minutes, conserving staff time and energy.
