  • RR=Relative risk; SBP=systolic blood pressure; DBP=diastolic blood pressure.

  • 6-150 Functional outcome defined as patients that are unable to look after their own affairs (modified Rankin score 3–4–5) versus those that are able to look after their own affairs (score 0–1–2).

  • 6-151 Glasgow coma scale entered as 1=(score 14–15); 2=(score 8–13); 3=(score 4–7); 4=(score 3, all patients died after one year). Baseline score=1.

  • 6-152 SBP and DBP/10 mmHg.

  • Based on data from 328 subjects.
