Notes

  1. 1.

    Cerebral Perfomance Category. CPC of 1 indicates good cerebral performance but may have minor psychological or neurological deficits. CPC of 2 indicates moderate cerebral disability typically resulting in impairment of activities of daily living. CPC of 3 is severe cerebral disability with dependence upon others for daily support. CPC of 4 is coma or vegetative state and CPC of 5 is death.
