Abstract
Medical outcome research has gained significant prominence as healthcare providers work to determine the utility and efficacy of daily practice. Consequently, the outcome of neurosciences critical care is a topic of developing interest in the clinical neuroscience community. In fact, both outcomes research and neurosciences critical care are relatively new fields that are being defined and developed. We will attempt to discuss some of the key points pertaining these largely untapped areas.
