The vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: a systematic review of prevalence studies

TL;DR: The reliability of VS/UWS prevalence figures is poor, and Methodological flaws in available prevalence studies, the fact that 5/14 of the studies predate the identification of the minimally conscious state (MCS) as a distinct entity in 2002, and insufficient verification of included cases may lead to both overestimation and underestimation of the actual number of patients in VS/ UWS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinimetric properties of the Nociception Coma Scale (-Revised): A systematic review.

TL;DR: The Nociception Coma Scale (NCS) as mentioned in this paper is an observation tool developed specifically for patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) due to (acquired) brain injury.
Journal Article

[The unresponsive wakefulness syndrome: Dutch perspectives].

TL;DR: The current situation and outlook for unresponsive wakefulness syndrome patients in the Netherlands is illustrated and recommendations for the optimization of treatment and care are made, as well as for future research.

Clinimetric properties of the Nociception Coma Scale (-Revised)

TL;DR: The overview of clinimetric properties in this study shows that the NCS and NCS‐R are both valid and useful instruments to assess nociceptive behaviour in DOC patients, and provides guidance for the choice in N CS‐R cut‐off value for possible pain treatment.
