| Progressive mobilization group | Passive movement group | Diff. 95% confidence interval | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total NOP | 34 | 34 | NA | NA |
| Total CVS incidence, n (%) | 5 (14.71) | 14 (41.18) | 26.47% [6.09–46.85%] | 0.015 |
| NOP in EVD group | 13 | 15 | NA | NA |
| CVS incidence, n (%) | 1 (7.69) | 3 (20.00) | NA | 0.600 |
| NOP in non-EVD group | 21 | 19 | NA | NA |
| CVS incidence, n (%) | 4 (19.05) | 11 (57.89) | 38.85% [11.01–66.68%] | 0.011 |
| Number of mobilizations within ICP | 58 | 67 | NA | NA |
| Abnormally Increased ICP, n (%) | 2 (3.45) | 0 | NA | 0.213 |
| Abnormally decreased CPP, n (%) | 0 | 0 | NA | NA |
NOP, number of patients; EVD, external ventricular drainage; ICP, intracranial pressure; CPP, cerebral perfusion pressure; NA, Not Applicable.
