What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Favorable outcome

    A favorable outcome is defined by a Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) of 5. The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) will be determined during a structured interview conducted by an independent assessor. The GOS score : \[1: Death, 2: Persistent vegetative state, 3: Severe disability, 4: Moderate disability, 5 : Low disability\]

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Favorable outcome

    A favorable outcome is defined by a Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) of 5. The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) will be determined during a structured interview conducted by an independent assessor. The GOS score : \[1: Death, 2: Persistent vegetative state, 3: Severe disability, 4: Moderate disability, 5 : Low disability\]

    Time frame: 3-months and 5-years, 10-years

  2. Functional impairment

    Percentages of patients with functional impairments (motor, sensitive or cognitive deficits)

    Time frame: 3-months and 1-year, 5-years, 10-years

  3. Low or moderate disability

    Low or moderate disability is defined by a Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) of 4 or 5. The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) will be determined during a structured interview conducted by an independent assessor. The GOS score : \[1: Death, 2: Persistent vegetative state, 3: Severe disability, 4: Moderate disability, 5 : Low disability\]

    Time frame: 3-months and 1-year, 5-years, 10-years

  4. Recurrent PRES

    percentages of the patients that experience recurrence of PRES \[defined as a variable combination of consciousness impairment, seizure activity, headaches, visual abnormalities, nausea/vomiting, and focal neurological signs AND cerebral imaging abnormalities involving the white matter (brain CT scan hypodensities AND/OR Brain MRI hypoT1, hyper T2 FLAIR)\]

    Time frame: 3-months and 1-year, 5-years, 10-years

  5. Mortality rate

    mortality rate

    Time frame: ICU, hospital discharge, 3-months and 1-year, 5-years, 10-years
