*Wilcoxon rank sum or Fisher’s exact test for difference between isolated M2 or M3 and LVO + M2 or M3 groups. Hodges-Lehmann estimate and CI was computed for results of Wilcoxon rank sum test. Exact estimate and Clopper-Pearson CI was computed for results of Fisher’s exact test.
ICH, intracranial hemorrhage; LVO, large vessel occlusion; mRS, modified Rankin Scale; mTICI, modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; PI,Principal Investigator.
