Diagnostic accuracy (as AUC) of neurological examination in predicting SEP results at 24, 48, and 72 h after CPR

	AUC	p value
Absent SEP 24 h	0.67 (0.60–0.74)	<0.001
Absent SEP 48 h	0.78 (0.72–0.85)	<0.001
Absent SEP 72 h	0.78 (0.72–0.84)	<0.001
Present SEP 24 h	0.67 (0.60–0.74)	<0.001
Present SEP 48 h	0.78 (0.72–0.85)	<0.001
Present SEP 72 h	0.78 (0.72–0.84)	<0.001

All values are expressed with their 95% confidence limits. The probability of an eye score of E1, a motor score of M1–3, bilaterally absent corneal reflexes, and bilaterally absent pupillary light responses reflexes for an absent SEP; the probability of an eye score of E2–4, a motor score of M4–6, present corneal reflexes and pupillary light responses for a present SEP
