  • Numbers marked in bold indicate statistically significant differences (P<0.05) in the multivariable analysis.

  • *Variables with P<0.20 in univariable analysis were included in the multivariable analysis.

  • †Independent variables excluded from multicollinearity test (predicted from one or more of the other independent variables).

  • ASPECTS, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score; eTICI, expanded thrombolysis in cerebral ischaemia; MCA, middle cerebral artery; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; tPA, tissue-type plasminogen activator; VIF, variance inflation factor.
