Anoxic Brain Injury	424,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests [109]	52-90%^{^} [98, 110]	25-40%^** [111, 112]	48-55%^** [111, 112]
Status Epilepticus^{^^}	200,000 [113]	14-50% [114, 115]	19-65% [116-118]	42% [119]

Among patients with severe traumatic brain injury

^{^}

Overall 90% mortality including those who do not survive to hospital admission [109]

^**

Among patients who underwent targeted temperature management. Mortality rates are higher and functional outcome worse in patients with PEA/asystole arrest compared to Vfib/Vtach arrest.

^{^^}

Patients with refractory status epilepticus (continued seizures after two anti-epileptic drugs have been administered) have higher mortality rates and worse functional outcomes.
