Values are presented as mean and standard deviations if normally distributed numerical data; median and interquartile range if ordinal data or non-normally distributed numerical data; counts and percentage if categorical data. Abbreviations: sTLR = soluble Toll-like receptor; DCI = delayed cerebral ischaemia; CT = computed tomography; WFNS = World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies scale; HH = Hunt and Hess scale; GCS = Glasgow Coma Scale; CRP = C-reactive protein; WBC = white blood cell; Hgb = plasma haemoglobin; GOS = Glasgow outcome scale.
