Specifications Table
Subject area | Cardiac Arrest(CA) |
More specific subject area | Multimodal Neurological Prognostication in comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA). |
Type of data | Quantitative data of index tests, figures and tables |
How data was acquired | Be-Plus Galileo for acquisition of EEG and SEP. |
Data format | Raw data, continuous and categorical variables |
Experimental factors | Electroencephalography (EEG) patterns classified according to the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) terminology; Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEPs) classified according to the cortical responses on both hemispheres; Grey Matter/White Matter (GM/WM) ratio density on Brain Computed Tomography (CT). |
Experimental features | Tests were performed within the first 24 hours after CA. The primary endpoint was neurological outcome at 6 months, measured using the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC). Accuracy was measured using sensitivity, specificity and Receiving Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve where appropriate. |
Data source location | Italy (Florence, Modena, Empoli, Reggio Emilia, L'Aquila, Perugia, Genoa). |
Data accessibility | Summary data are available in this article. Excel data file is attached assupplementary material |
