Fig. 5 — a Elements commonly used to prognosticate in coma patients (n = 226 of 258). Most important prognostic factors (first) were the etiology of coma (n = 87 of 226, 38%), findings in neurological examination (n = 70 of 226, 31%) and age (n = 29 of 226, 13%). The top three most important factors were etiology of coma (n = 170 of 226, 75%), findings in neurological examination (n = 149 of 226, 66%) and neuroimaging (n = 115 of 226, 51%). Bars represent the cumulative incidence for ranking the top three elements used for prognostication normalized to “etiology of coma” (100%). Survey question: Please rank the top three (first, second, third) most important elements you utilize for prognostication in comatose patients. The answers were weighted based on the most common (multiplied by 3), the second most common (multiplied by 2), the third most common (multiplied by 1). b Areas of coma research for coma patients. Survey question: What areas of coma research focus do you feel are most important/urgent? The answers were weighted based on the most common (multiplied by 3), the second most common (multiplied by 2), the third most common (multiplied by 1)
