Outcome was determined by the CPC scale (CPC) and dichotomized as good (CPC = 1–2) and poor (CPC = 3–5) outcome. EEG reactivity was based on majority vote (A), based on majority vote with patients dying of a non‐neurological cause excluded (B), and based on consensus meeting results (C).
CPC = Cerebral Performance Category; EEG = electroencephalographic.
