Patient group | Patients in each R2 quartile | |||
< 0.25 | 0.26 to 0.5 | 0.51 to 0.75 | > 0.75 | |
All patients | 63 (81%) | 9 (11%) | 6 (8%) | 0 (0%) |
Those with craniotomy/craniectomy | 33 (77%) | 6 (14%) | 4 (9%) | 0 (0%) |
Those with ventriculostomy | 28 (90%) | 2 (7%) | 1 (3%) | 0 (0%) |
Those with continuous infusion hypertonic saline | 10 (100%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) |
Those without ventriculostomy, craniotomy/craniectomy, or continuous infusion hypertonic saline | 19 (90%) | 2 (10%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) |
Data presented as n (%). Each serum sodium measurement was matched to the corresponding intracranial pressure to calculate individual R2 values for every patient. Patients were divided into different groups based on whether or not they received various treatments and/or procedures during the study period (for example, craniectomy, ventriculostomy, continuous infusion hypertonic saline). The number of patients per group falling into each R2 quartile is provided.
