Objective To explore the reliability and validity of the Chinese Nanjing persistent vegetative state scale(CNPVSS)in evaluating patients with acute disorders of consciousness(DOC).Methods 253 DOC patients who were admitted to Nanjing Zijin Hospital from January to December 2020 for early severe rehabilitation treatment,with a course of ≤28 days and meeting the admission criteria were selected,and scored by using the Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)and CNPVSS respectively.The correlation between GCS and CNPVSS scores of patients of different genders was calculated.The reliability and validity of 2 scales were compared and analyzed.Results The extent of DOC in enrolled patients was relatively severe,with a tracheotomy rate of around 80％.The GCS score results were 8(6,10)for male and 8(5,10)for female,while the CNPVSS score results were 3(2,7)for male and 3(1,6)for female.The scores of 2 scales were significantly correlated in both genders(P＜0.001).The reliability index of CNPVSS,the Cronbach's alpha coefficient(0.905 for males and 0.882 for females)were higher than GCS(0.580 for males and 0.665 for females).The Kaiser Meyer Olkin(KMO)value of the validity indicator(0.846 for male,0.834 for female)was also higher than GCS(0.559 for male,0.593 for female).Conclusion CNPVSS can be used for the evaluation of acute DOC patients and has good reliability and validity.
