Table 2. Group-wise Spearman correlation analysis performed separately for MCS and UWS patients, between the combined clustered effects found when comparing MCS vs UWS in the ERP global effect, ERP local effect, HER global effect, and HER local effect.
Significance was set at α=0.05/8=0.0063, according to Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
| MCS | UWS | |
|---|---|---|
| ERP global vs ERP local |
R=0.1077 p=0.4748 |
R=0.3099 p=0.0591 |
| HER global vs ERP global |
R=0.0575 p=0.7033 |
R=0.1580 p=0.3290 |
| HER global vs HER local |
R=–0.1193 p=0.4283 |
R=0.1480 p=0.3607 |
| HER local vs ERP local |
R=–0.0436 p=0.7730 |
R=–0.4114 p=0.0088 |
HER: heartbeat-evoked response, ERP: auditory event-related potential, MCS: minimally conscious state, UWS: unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
