  1. Crude outcome of severely brain-injured patients included in a sub-group analysis of the CGAO-REA study. Ventilation and ICU-free days are expressed between ICU admission and Day-28. Good neurologic outcome was defined as a good recovery or moderate disability (Glasgow outcome scale score 1 to 2) [24]. Poor neurologic outcome was defined as severe disability or vegetative state or death (Glasgow outcome scale score 3, 4, 5) [24]. Continuous data are expressed as median (25th to 75th percentile) and categorical data as number (%). Continuous data were analyzed with Studentā€™s t test. Categorical data were analyzed with Ļ‡2 test. IIT: intensive insulin therapy.
