Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to translate the SECONDs from French into Chinese and assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the SECONDs .

Description:

To promote accurate assessments of DoC patients and the development of clinical research on DoC in China, we here propose and validate a version of the SECONDs translated into Mandarin Chinese. Hence, this study aims to assess the concurrent validity (compared with the CRS-R which has already been translated and validated in Mandarin), intra-rater reliability, and inter-rater reliability of the Chinese version of the SECONDs

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the SECONDs	The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the SECONDs were evaluated by calculating the weighted Cohen's Kappa and Spearman coefficients of the differences between SECONDs and CRS-R in the diagnosis of MCS and UWS patients	Within 10 days
Primary	Diagnose the level of consciousness in patients through SECONDs and CRS-R	Detect acute (longer than 14 days, less than 28 days) or prolonged DoC (following severe acquired brain injury, longer than 28 days) patients through Simplified Evaluation of CONsciousness Disorders (SECONDs).	Within 10 days
Primary	Diagnose the level of consciousness in patients through CRS-R	Detect acute (longer than 14 days, less than 28 days) or prolonged DoC (following severe acquired brain injury, longer than 28 days) patients through Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R).	Within 10 days
