In 2019, investigators and clinicians with expertise in coma and disorders of consciousness (DoC) joined forces to establish the Neurocritical Care Society Curing Coma Campaign (CCC) , a global effort aimed at promoting coma awareness, accelerating research efforts, and supporting evidence-based practice. The CCC Prospective Studies Workgroup is charged with designing and implementing trials aimed at understanding the natural history of recovery from coma, identifying current common approaches to treating DoC, and establishing empirical support for interventions aimed at promoting recovery of consciousness. In this symposium we will provide an in-depth overview of the goals of the CCC Prospective Studies Workgroup and present findings from early studies lead by Workgroup members.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the aims and 5-year roadmap of the Curing Coma Campaign Prospective Studies Workgroup.
Recognize variations in the definition of coma identified by the Come Together survey
Identify global synergies and variations in the clinical management of patients with DoC, as revealed by the Come Together survey
Discuss the incidence and prevalence of coma in the United States and United Kingdom, as evaluated by a crowdsourcing survey
