how is the prognosis of comatose patients determined?

different causes, different treatment measures and individual differences often have different effects on the prognosis of coma patients. generally, the prognosis of coma patients is determined using the five-level classification based on the glasgow coma treatment outcome proposed by jennett and bond in 1975. assessment time ranges from 3 months to 1 year:

① good: adults can regain their ability to adapt to life and participate in work, and children and young people can go to school.

② moderately disabled: the patient can take care of himself but has mild neurological impairment. although he can sometimes participate in some simple tasks, his working ability is significantly reduced.

③severely disabled: the patient cannot take care of himself and needs help from others to take care of his life.

④persistent vegetative state.

⑤death.
