This chapter looks at the difficulty in predicting the outcome for patients with severe brain damage. Brain death, in principle, is conceptually a single biologic state with an unequivocal future, while severe brain injuries span a wide range of outcomes depending on a number of variables that include not only the degree of neurologic injury, but also the presence and severity of medical complications. The chapter looks in detail at the process of recovery after coma. It examines the various factors that influence recovery, such as duration of coma, presence of secondary injuries, age, motor findings, biochemical markers, electrophysiological markers, and multivariate modeling. It looks at a number of underlying causes of coma and how they relate to prognosis.
