Proportions of patients with good neurological outcomes according to cutoff values of the induction, maintenance, and rewarming phases: all patients who received therapeutic hypothermia.

Subgroup of patients	N	Good neurological outcome (GR or MD rating on GOS)*	OR (95% CI)	P value

≤6 h	30	13 (43%)
>6 h	57	27 (47%)
Duration of hypothermia phase ≥ 72 h	77		0.92 (0.36–2.40)	1
≥72 h	52	26 (50%)
<72 h	25	13 (52%)
Duration of rewarming phase ≥48 h	75		1.89 (0.63–5.65)	0.282
≥48 h	58	33 (57%)
<48 h	17	7 (41%)
