Normally distributed continuous variables are reported as mean (standard deviation). Non-normal or ordinal variables are reported as median (interquartile range). Categorical variables are reported as proportions. TBI indicated traumatic brain injury. Neuroimaging data were available for 13 of 18 patients, so proportions were reported relative to the 13 for whom data were available.
