The diagnoses and sum scores obtained during assessments at the time of the temperature maximum are marked in bold. The assessment results to the left/right of the rating in bold represent further assessments that were scheduled at intervals of 2.5 h around the time of the maximum. Note that for P7 and P8 the temperature maximum occurred at times when an assessment was not possible. For P7 and P8 the assessments closest to the temperature maximum are therefore the first and the last ones, respectively. CRS‐R, Coma Recovery Scale – Revised; EMCS, Exit MCS; MCS, minimally conscious state; NTBI, non‐traumatic brain injury; TBI, traumatic brain injury; VS/UWS, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.
