Comparing the Different Sets of Item-Level Diagnostic Criteria of the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R): A Measurement-Based Approach Driven by Rasch Analysis
This study improved the results of a previous Rasch analysis published in 2013. It delivered a new stable Rasch calibration of the CRS-R within the largest multicenter sample size available to date and without any differential item functioning by patient's etiology. The adopted measurement-based approach provided further insights into the diagnostic meaning of several score categories of the CRS-R, confirming previous findings and suggesting that "automatic motor response" (item: motor function) and "object recognition" (item: visual function) are likely to represent behavioral manifestations of MCS+ and eMCS, respectively.
