Abstract

Objective: To present an updated version of the 'Post-acute Level Of Consciousness scale' (PALOC-s), in accordance with the latest scientific insights.

Methods: Within the context of a research project, 20 years ago, the PALOC-s was developed for the purpose of following the development of the level of consciousness of young unconscious patients participating in a rehabilitation program. Meanwhile, the understanding of the behavior related to different levels of consciousness has developed and terminology has changed, resulting in the need to revise the PALOC-s. With the preservation of the original description of the eight hierarchical levels of PALOC-s, adaptations are made in the terminology and grouping of these levels.

Results and conclusion: This manuscript presents the revised version of PALOC-sr, which is suitable for use in clinical practice. The validation of this scale is recommended for its optimal use in future (international) research projects.

急性期后意识水平量表修订版（PALOC-sr）：用于对长期意识障碍患者的意识水平进行分类的量表。

目的根据最新的科学见解，介绍 "急性期后意识水平量表"（PALOC-s）的最新版本：在 20 年前的一个研究项目中，PALOC-s 是为了跟踪参与康复项目的年轻昏迷患者的意识水平发展而开发的。与此同时，人们对不同意识水平相关行为的理解不断发展，术语也发生了变化，因此需要对 PALOC-s 进行修订。在保留 PALOC-s 八个层次的原始描述的基础上，对这些层次的术语和分组进行了调整：本手稿介绍了 PALOC-sr 的修订版，该修订版适用于临床实践。建议对该量表进行验证，以便在未来的（国际）研究项目中得到最佳应用。
