  1. Demographic and clinical characteristics of 542 patients of the TTM-trial according to neurological outcome established with CPC score. Continuous variables are indicated as median (range), while categorical characteristics are reported as number (frequency). Statistically significant p-values (< 0.05) are highlighted in bold in the table. Abbreviations as in Table 1
