  1. Mean concentration of each metabolite and SD from affected (A side) and non-affected (B side) hemispheres, and control side (C side) were shown. Patients were grouped according to the pathological diagnosis (SAH and TBI). The p-value was obtained by comparing the values pre- and post-IHT with the t test student.
  2. SAH subarachnoid hemorrhage, TBI traumatic brain injury, IHT intrahospital transfer, LPR lactate/pyruvate ratio.
  3. Significant values are in bold.
