A longitudinal retrospective study on determinants of survival in chronic patients with severe acquired brain injuries and Disorders of Consciousness
During LTC hospitalization, chronic DOC patients showed a high level of disability and their clinical profile remained stable unless comorbidities or clinical complications arose. Age at the acute event is the main factor explaining survival probability, while the role of etiology, an already-known relevant factor for prognosis in the acute and post-acute phases, might be secondary in the chronic phase.
