Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range). Abbreviations: CRS-R: Coma Recovery Scale-Revised; GCS: Glasgow Coma Scale; BAEP: brainstem auditory-evoked potential. Significance level at p value < 0.05; p value refers to the results of the aMann–Whitney U test and the bindependent samples t-test.
