The analyzed patient sample consisted of 18 UWS and 17 MCS subjects. Abbreviations: Sex: M = male, F = female; Aetiology: TBI = Traumatic Brain Injury, CVA-Cerebrovascular Accident, SSPE = Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis; Clinical assessment and follow-up diagnosis: UWS = Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome, SD- = lower severe disability (3 points on Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale), MCS = Minimally Conscious State, eMCS = emergence from MCS; CRC-R = Coma Recovery Scale-Revised.
