  1. At each time point, we selected two thresholds for the Cerebral Recovery Index (CRI), one corresponding to a 100% specificity for predicting poor neurologic outcome, and one corresponding to a 100% specificity for predicting good neurologic outcome. In addition, the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are given.
  2. The threshold of the CRI of >1.00 means that no threshold could be chosen in which good neurologic outcome was predicted correctly in any of the patients without having any false positives, resulting in a sensitivity of 0.
