  • Model 1: Adjusted for rescue IAT, age, baseline NIHSS scores, diabetes mellitus, symptomatic occlusion, and ΔEND−NIHSS.

  • Model 2: Adjusted for rescue IAT, age, baseline NIHSS scores, TOAST classification, FAT to visit time, diabetes mellitus, symptomatic occlusion, and ΔEND−NIHSS.

  • END, early neurological deterioration; FAT, first known abnormal time; IAT, IA therapy; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; TOAST, Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment; ΔEND−NIHSS, numerical difference between NIHSS scores at the time of END and before END.
