  1. Data are presented as medians (25th and 75th percentiles). The differences between patients with CPC 1 to 2 vs. CPC 3 to 5 were significant at every point of assessment. ΔCrea24: change in serum creatinine in the first 24 hours; ΔCrea72: change in serum creatinine in the first 72 hours; CPC: Cerebral Performance Category; ICU = intensive care unit.
