Description
Summary:Objective: To examine the basic psychometric features of a modified version of the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) for use in young children with disorders of consciousness (DoC). Method: The CRS-R was modified to create the Coma Recovery Scale for Pediatrics (CRS-P) and administered to 33 typically developing children (8-59 months). Total scores, subtest scores, and inter-rater reliability were evaluated. Performance on the two items representing emergence to conscious state (CS) - functional object use (FOU) and functional communication (FC) was examined across the age range. Results: Inter-rater reliability of CRS-P subscale scores was adequate (K w = .87-1.00). All 4-year-olds, 75% of 3-year-olds, 10% of 2-year-olds, and 0% 12 months and none
