The clinically significant risks and major events are stratified by AHT status and GCS group. Only the GCS <9 group is shown given no events in the other groups. “Arrests” includes both cardiac and respiratory events. “Neurologic events” includes ICP crises, strokes, and herniation events.

a

Statistical correlations are assessed between GCS group and event rate

b

AHT status and event rate independent of GCS.

VAP = Ventilator-associated pneumonia.
