NA: Could not be assessed due to high dose of sedatives. Pattern of injury: no abnormalities (normal), damage into the watershed areas, damage predominantly to the deep grey matter, that is, basal ganglia/thalamus (BGT), and severe brain damage, that is, near-total brain injury (NT).

*P = 0.007 MB abnormalities vs no MB abnormality (Genoa, χ2).

**P = 0.003 normal/watershed vs BGT/NT (Combined, χ2).
