We read with interest the disorders of consciousness guideline1but found issues with the recommendations. Some of the recommendations are classified as level A (recommendations 3, 9, and 11). For example, “When prognosis is poor, long-term care must be discussed (level A)….”1 The references cited did not come from a randomized control trial.
