from an initial series of patients ( n = 28 ) with an established diagnosis [ brain death n = 14 ; severe coma with a glasgow coma scale ( gcs ) less than 7 , n = 14 ] , the results of the logistic regression analysis process yielded the most discriminating parameters for brain death diagnosis : end-diastolic velocity ( ved - 1.4 vs. 12.7 cm/s ; t = 7.67 , p = 0.001 ) and blood flow ( qed - 13.6 vs. 121.4 ml/min ) .
