Univariate analysis of the patients without dexamethasone treatment revealed that DCI was significantly associated with acute hydrocephalus (p = 0.005), WBC count at day 7 (p = 0.002) and day 14 (p < 0.001), persistent leukocytosis (p = 0.016), elevated CRP at day 3 (p = 0.038) and day 14 (p = 0.012), as well as the Fisher score (p = 0.026) (Table S1). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Increased total leukocyte count.
