Outcomes for ECI vs. non-ECI patients

Outcome	No ECI (n=29)	ECI (n=18)	p-value*
	Mean (SD)/Count (%)	Mean (SD)/Count (%)
Hospital LOS	2.6 (1.5)	5.6 (3.9)	0.002
ICU LOS	1.7 (0.8)	2.6 (1.9)	0.02
Discharge location			0.24
Home	25 (86.2)	12 (70.6)
Acute care facility	3 (10.3)	2 (11.7)
Acute rehab facility	1 (3.5)	3 (16.7)
Follow up appt.	11 (37.9)	4 (22.2)	0.26
Memory loss	1 (3.5)	1 (5.6)	0.73
Headache	4 (13.8)	3 (16.7)	0.79
Other TBI symptoms	3 (10.3)	2 (11.1)	0.93

ECI (early cognitive impairment), SD (standard deviation), LOS (length of stay), ICU (intensive care unit), Follow up appt. (follow up appointment), TBI (traumatic brain injury)

^*P values were calculated for each continuous variable using Wilcoxon rank sum tests (Hospital LOS and ICU LOS). P values for categorial variables were reported using Pearson’s χ² (remaining variables).
