  1. Data are first described in the global group and then categorized according to the pathological admission diagnosis (SAH or TBI). The table shows the p-value obtained by comparing the subjects in each variable in each pathological group with the chi-square test.
  2. SAH subaracnhoid hemorraghe, TBI traumatic brain injury, GCS glasgow coma scale (GCS), mRS modified Rankin scale score, IHT intrahospital transfer, DCI delayed cerebral ischemia.
  3. Significant values are in bold.
