However, their relationships with cerebral physiology and functional outcome during neurointensive care (NIC) remain incompletely understood.

HRV, BRS and SC (multiscale entropy complexity index) of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), ICP, ICP pulse amplitude (AMP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), respectively, were analysed over the first 10\u00a0days of NIC. Associations with demographics, injury severity, NIC physiology (ICP, CPP, pressure reactivity index [PRx]) and 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) were assessed using Spearman\u2019s correlations, multivariable ordinal logistic regression and two-variable outcome heatmaps.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In multivariable regression (adjusted for age, Glasgow Coma Scale motor score [GCS M], pupillary reactivity, ICP, CPP and PRx) higher HRV and SC of each of HR, ICP, AMP and CPP independently correlated with better functional outcome in separate models. Outcome heatmaps demonstrated that reduced SC combined with high ICP, low CPP or high PRx was particularly associated with poor recovery. Lower admission GCS M, barbiturate use and decompressive craniectomy were generally associated with reduced HRV, BRS and SC.
