Table 2 Correlations between infarct size and oedema, clinical outcome and weight loss

Correlations: Values of Spearman R	N	Percent post-operative weight loss	Volume of infarct in percent of the right hemisphere
			Subcortex	Cortex	Total infarct
Oedema in percent of the left hemisphere	35	0.45**	0.82***	0.72***	0.83***
Clinical score pre-termination	35	0.34*	0.51**	0.49*	0.53**
Postoperative weight loss	35		0.55***	0.53***	0.59***

Cortical, subcortical and total infarct volumes each correlated significantly with oedema, clinical score before termination and weight loss. Values in the table are all Spearman R, * = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.01, *** = p < 0.001.
