Number and Volume of New Brain Lesions

	RIPC Group n=63	Control Group n=63	Sham Group n=63	P Value*
Number of lesions	1.5 (1.0–3.0)	2.0 (1.0–5.5)	2.0 (1.0–4.0)	0.380
Single lesion volume (mL)†	0.03 (0.02–0.05)	0.07 (0.05–0.10)	0.08 (0.06–0.12)	P1<0.001 P2<0.001
Total lesions volume (mL)‡	0.06 (0.03–0.11)	0.17 (0.10–0.56)	0.16 (0.07–0.42)	P1=0.002 P2=0.012

Data are medians (IQR). IQR indicates interquartile range; and RIPC, remote ischemic preconditioning.

^*P₁ indicates the comparison between the RIPC group and the control group. P₂ is the comparison between the RIPC group and the sham group.

^†The volume of single lesions.

^‡The volume of all new lesions in each subject.
