The eight scores are dead, vegetative state, lower severe disability, upper severe disability, lower moderate disability, upper moderate disability, lower good recovery, and upper good recovery. Broad item categories are similar to the GOS: good recovery (able to live independently and able to return to work or school), moderate disability (able to live independently and unable to return to work or school), severe disability (able to follow commands and unable to live independently), persistent vegetative state...
