Identifying Prognostic Factors and Quality of Care in Severe Brain Injuries

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to identify medium-term prognostic factors for patients with severe acquired brain injuries and assess their impact on rehabilitation outcomes. It involves collecting structural and organizational data from rehabilitation units, as well as detailed patient information upon admission and re-evaluation four months post-acute event. Statistical models will be used to predict the likelihood of achieving key rehabilitation objectives such as decannulation, trunk control, and total feeding by mouth.
