BACKGROUND: Criteria for determining @entity1620 ( @entity1620 ) vary between China and the United States. We reported the results of an investigation designed to compare procedures to determine @entity1620 in two countries. METHODS: The latest criteria in the United states were published in 2010. The latest criteria in China were published in 2009. We used these two types of @entity1620 criteria to evaluate @entity1 who were considered to be @entity1620 . The time, cost, and accuracy of the diagnosis were compared. RESULTS: From January 1, 2012 to October 8, 2013, there were 37 @entity1 which were applied for @entity1620 evaluation in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit of Beijing Tiantan Hospital. The cause of @entity772 were known as @entity510 (18 @entity1 , 48.6%), @entity1779 (8 @entity1 , 21.6%), @entity2806 (9 @entity1 , 24.3%), @entity3308 (1 @entity1 , 2.7%), and @entity281 (1 @entity1 , 2.7%). The clinical examinations were done for all of the @entity1 except 1 @entity1 who had low blood pressure. Three @entity1 had brainstem reflexes that were excluded from @entity1620 . Twenty-five @entity1 had @entity386 tests, and 20 tests were completed that were all positive. Confirmatory tests were completed differently: Transcranial Doppler (30 @entity1 , positive rate 86.7%), electroencephalogram (25 @entity1 , positive rate 100%), and somatosensory evoked potential (16 @entity1 , positive rate 100%). Thirty-three @entity1 were diagnosed @entity1620 by criteria of the United States. Only 9 @entity1 were diagnosed @entity1620 by Chinese criteria. The use of time and money in the USA criteria was obviously fewer than those in Chinese criteria (P = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Compared with @entity1620 criteria of the United States, Chinese criteria were stricter, lower positive rate, more cost in money and time, and more reliable by families and doctors.
