Table 4:
Maximum frequency of intra-burst spectral peaks and presence of EEG continuity for all patients with BSP. Patients #1-3 correspond to patients with independent functional outcomes following prolonged post-cardiac arrest coma (shown in Figure 2); patients #4-6 correspond to patients from the prospective cohort with BSP on EEG demonstrating favorable outcomes (see also Figure 3, patients A1, A2 and A3); patients #7-20 correspond to the remaining patients in the prospective cohort with BSP on EEG demonstrating unfavorable outcomes (within this group, patients #7-9 correspond to patients B1, B2 and B3 in Figure 3).
