Subgroup analysis of patients with NISS>=25 and those with TBI. In both subgroups, none of the three effects of interest were significantly superior than the model with the covariates in Table 2. Patients with NISS >=25 had significantly higher %ADP-INH than those with NISS<25 [36.5% (19.4–62.9) vs 50.8% (30.4–82.0), p=0.0015]. The %ADP-INH was also higher among TBI patients compared to those without significant TBI, albeit not significantly [38.9% (21.1–68.1) vs 49.6% (27.7–78.4), p=0.17].
