| CBFv, cm/s | |||
| Middle cerebral artery | 51.6 (44.2–55.6) | 57.2 (46.8–67.8) | 0.27 |
| Posterior cerebral artery | 27.5 (23.8–37.6) | 29.0 (23.9–32.5) | 0.78 |
| Pulsatility index | |||
| Middle cerebral artery | 0.85 (0.73–0.92) | 0.85 (0.79–0.93) | 0.93 |
| Posterior cerebral artery | 0.86 (0.72–0.99) | 1.00 (0.93–1.15) | 0.003 |
Mean arterial pressure is normally distributed so is reported as mean (standard deviation). All other variables are non-normal so are reported as median (interquartile range). p-values were calculated by paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank sum test for normally and non-normally distributed variables, respectively. CBFv indicates cerebral blood flow velocity.
