Temperature and EEG grade data are based on measurements taken at each time point. Categorical data represents the cumulative incidence over the preceding 24h period. Univariate comparisons made using Fisher’s Exact Test for categorical variables and the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables.
