OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; DC, decompressive craniectomy; c.v., continuous variable; ΔLR, pre-surgical variation of the Lindegaard ratio of the defective side when moving from the sitting so supine position; Early surgery, surgery performed with 85 days of the original decompression; m-MTT-h, mean transition time of the healthy hemisphere obtained with perfusion computed tomography before the surgery.
