Comparison of brain temperature values in the basal ganglia and white matter according to the initial degree of encephalopathy and the presence of brain injury. Comparison of brain temperature values in the basal ganglia and white matter according to the initial degree of encephalopathy and the presence of brain injury. Brain temperature values in the basal ganglia according to the initial degree of encephalopathy (A) and according to the presence of brain injury (B). Brain temperature values in white matter according to the initial degree of encephalopathy (C) and the presence of brain injury (D). Box-and-whisker plots (median, minimum, and maximum in degrees Celsius). Significance was derived from Kruskal-Wallis tests, followed by the Dunn post hoc comparison tests for multiple comparisons: The asterisk indicates P < .05; 2 asterisks, P < .01; 3 asterisks, P < .001.
