FIG. 1.

(a) Scatter plot for the correlation between the start of Functional Independence Measure (FIM) improvement (increase of ≥10%) measured in weeks post-injury and final FIM scores at discharge. The quadratic regression line (center curved line; r²=0.17) is shown together with the 95% confidence intervals (outer curved lines). The dotted line represents the level of 45 FIM points, which is the minimal clinical important difference (MCID) for the FIM. (b) Scatter plot for the correlation between the beginning of Coma Remission Scale (CRS) improvement (increase of ≥10%) measured in weeks post-injury and final CRS scores at discharge from neurorehabilitation. The upper line is the regression line (r²=0.03), the lower line represents the lower border of the 95% confidence interval. The upper border is not shown in this figure.
