Finger wrinkling test: scores from 0 to 2 indicate abnormal skin wrinkling; score of 3 or 4 indicate normal skin wrinkling. GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale. mRS, modified Rankin Scale: 0= no symptoms; 1= no significant disability despite symptoms; 2, 3= mild or moderate disability; 4= moderate-to-severe disability; 5= severe disability; 6=dead. VS, vegetative state. MCS, minimally conscious state.
