The incidence of secondary insults, expressed as proportion of good monitoring time (GMT) is described in each outcome group (a). Difference among groups was significant for raised ICP, hypotension, low CPP, and hypoxia insults (ANOVA, p < 0.01). Post-hoc analysis revealed that differences were significant between brain death and both favorable and unfavorable outcome (*p < 0.05). Data are expressed as mean and standard error. ICP intracranial pressure, CPP cerebral perfusion pressure. b Boxplots of IL-6 level in each outcome group. Difference among groups was significant (ANOVA, p < 0.001). Post-hoc analysis revealed that differences were significant between brain death and both favorable and unfavorable outcome (*p < 0.05). Circles represent outliers
