OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Accurate classification of disorders of consciousness (DoC) is key in developing rehabilitation plans following brain injury. The Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) is a sensitive measure of consciousness. We explore feasibility, safety and impact of CRS-R guided rehab in hemorrhagic stroke patients with DoC and evaluate predictors of recovery. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Consecutive patients with non-traumatic hemorrhagic stroke, defined as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), receiving serial CRS-R assessments during their ICU stay at University of Maryland Medical Center from 2017-2021 were retrospectively identified. Outcomes of interest included the association with CRS-R and discharge disposition, therapy-based function and mobility and occurrence of safety events during CRS assessment. We also examined the association between CRS-R and physiological and anatomical injury pattern on electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), respectively. CRS-R RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 76 patients with≥2 CRS-R assessments were identified (22 SAH, 54 ICH, median age = 59, 50% female). Median CRS-R completed was 3 with no SAEs identified during sessions. We identified 4 patterns: persistent VS/UWS (49%), persistent MCS or better (13%), emergence from VS/UWS to MCS or better (27%) and regression from MCS or better to VS/UWS (11%). Persistent low CRS-R correlated with older age in SAH (p=0.01), female gender in ICH (p=0.04), and history of diabetes (p=0.01). 2% of patients with final CRS-R DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Early neurorehabilitation guided by CRS-R appears to be feasible and safe acutely following hemorrhagic stroke complicated by prolonged DoC and may enhance access to inpatient rehabilitation with a lasting benefit on recovery. Further characterization of DoC patterns and their correlation to clinical markers, including EEG and MRI is needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
