Neuroprognostication, or the prediction of recovery from disorders of consciousness caused
by severe brain injury, is as critical as it is complex. With profound implications for mortality …

Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is a major contributor to long-term disability and a
leading cause of death worldwide. Medical management of the sTBI patient, beginning with …

Importance There are limited data on which factors affect the critical and complex decision to
withdraw life-supporting treatment (LST) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) …

Objective We examined factors associated with withdrawal of care (WOC) in moderate-
severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) patients, and how WOC may affect short-term mortality …

Background The current state of the science regarding the care and prognosis of patients
with disorders of consciousness is limited. Scientific advances are needed to improve the …

Abstract Background/Objective Prognostication is a routine part of the delivery of
neurocritical care for most patients with acute neurocritical illnesses. Numerous prognostic …

Multi-modal neuroimaging techniques have the potential to dramatically improve the
diagnosis of the level consciousness and prognostication of neurological outcome for …

Objectives: To describe unique features of neurocritical illness that are relevant to provision
of high-quality palliative care; to discuss key prognostic aids and their limitations for …

Objectives: Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability, yet many
predictors of outcome are not precise enough to guide initial clinical decision-making …

Advances over the past two decades in functional neuroimaging have provided new
