Table 1.

Developed predictive scores and risk classifications for PCAS. Four score—full outline of unresponsiveness score; SOFA score—sequential organ failure assessment score; ESRD—end-stage renal disease; CAD—coronary artery disease; ROSC—return of spontaneous circulation; GCS—Glasgow coma scale; GWR—gray–white matter ratio.
