Recovery trajectories of clinically unresponsive patients with acute brain injury are largely uncertain. Brain activation in response to spoken motor commands can be detected by electroencephalography (EEG), also known as cognitive motor dissociation (CMD). Here we explore the role of CMD in predicting time to recovery in acutely brain injured patients. We prospectively studied an observational cohort of clinically unresponsive, acutely brain injured patients (original cohort N=100, secondary cohort N=93). Machine learning was applied to EEG recordings to diagnose CMD by detecting brain activation to verbal commands. Functional outcomes were assessed with the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended at hospital discharge, 3, 6, and 12 months after injury. Survival statistics and shift analyses were applied to identify an association between CMD and time to and magnitude of recovery. The prediction accuracy of our model built on the original cohort was determined using the secondary cohort. Patients that underwent withdrawal of life sustaining therapies were censored and death was treated as a competing risk. At 12 months, 28 of 193 (15%) unresponsive patients had a GOS-E of 4 or above. CMD was seen in 27 (14%) patients and was an independent predictor of shorter time to good recovery (HR5.6, 95%-CI 2.5–12.5), together with underlying traumatic brain injury (HR4.4, 95%-CI 1.4–14.0), admission Glasgow Coma Scale score greater or equal to 8 (HR2.2, 95%-CI 1.0–4.7), and younger age (HR1.0, 95%-CI 1.0–1.1). Amongst patients discharged home or to a rehabilitation setting, those diagnosed with CMD consistently had higher of functional recovery that those without CMD seen as early as 3 months after the injury (OR 4.5; 95%-CI 2.0–33.6). Recovery trajectories of clinically unresponsive patients diagnosed with CMD early after brain injury are distinctly different from those without CMD. Diagnosis of CMD may offer more precise counselling for families of unresponsive patients and potentially could help identify patients that benefit from rehabilitation.
