"SQUEEZE MY HAND!" Verbal commands like this are issued daily to traumatic brain injury patients in ICUs around the world. Persistent absence of command following is felt to be a poor prognostic sign. Is it? We share new results in JAMA Network Open 1/4

After a severe TBI, the risk of unfavorable 1-yr outcome increases by 1% with each additional day without command-following . This was observed in two independent studies, together including > 9,000 patients. We dub this the "1% rule". manuscript: tinyurl.com/yvs9s7xu 2/4

Time to command-following is generally not a very good predictor, only weakly discriminating between 1-yr outcomes (AUC 0.6). A 90% likelihood of unfavorable outcome is reached only after MORE THAN 40 DAYS without command-following-- an extremely rare occurrence. 3/4
