PREDICT-COVID: Prognostication of Recovery in Early Disorders of Consciousness After COVID-19
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary aim of this research proposal is to use multimodal metrics (e.g., clinical data and advanced neuroimaging) in the early (i.e., acute hospitalization) phase of recovery from COVID-19-related disorders of consciousness to predict outcome at 3, 6, and 12 months post-hospitalization. We aim to construct an algorithm that synthesizes the results of these metrics to help predict recovery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Disability Rating Scale score [6 months]
Functional outcome measure. Maximum score of 29 represents high disability, minimum score of 0 represents no disability. Higher scores represent higher level of disability.
