Clinical Trial Summary

The CRS-R is a standardized and validated bedside assessment of conscious awareness. It is used routinely for diagnosis and prognosis of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC) as well as in research settings. One limitation of the CRS-R is the lengthy administration time required to obtain a total score. Administration time can vary from approximately 15-30 minutes, depending on the patient's level of responsiveness. For this reason, the CRS-R is rarely administered in the acute hospital setting. Less time-consuming scales and metrics are used to assess conscious awareness in the acute hospital/ICU setting, but they lack specificity and sensitivity and have not been validated, increasing the potential for misdiagnosis. In conjunction with the developers of the Neuroscore (an unpublished, abbreviated version of the CRS-R), we have developed the CRSR-FAST and aim to test its validity, inter- and intra- rater reliability. We anticipate that, compared with the CRS-R, the CRSR-FAST will be less time-consuming to administer and score, but will maintain a high level of sensitivity to detecting signs of consciousness in severely brain injured patients.
