Values for ‘sex’ and ‘type of injury and CRS-R category at randomization’ are number of patients. ‘Age’ and ‘time from injury to randomization’ values are mean ± SD (range), ‘GCS’ values are median (25th– 75th percentile). Abbr.: f, female; m, male; CRS-R, coma recovery scale-revised; VS, vegetative state; MCS, minimally conscious state; GCS, Glasgow coma scale. Statistical test was:
* t-test
# U-test
without asterisk, chi2-test.
