Background Prognostication in prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) remains challenging, particularly when estimating recovery of a clinically observable conscious state. Multimodal neurophysiological markers may provide complementary prognostic information beyond behavioral assessment alone. Objective To develop and retrospectively evaluate a composite neurophysiological score (DoC-NP Score) for predicting emergence from the minimally conscious state (eMCS) during post-acute neurorehabili
