Z-scores neuropsychological outcome 3 and 24 months after OHCA a All neuropsychological tests were converted into Z-scores and compared with norm testdata. A higher Z-score means a better outcome b Numbers of patients differ for neuropsychological tests due to different age ranges and diversity of tests when children were tested elsewhere. c Expected % in general population with Z-score <=-1 = 16%
