Detailed results for agreement study. Agreement (95% CI) (Cohen’s unweighted kappa (κ)) and proportion of similar answers for initial CT-ASPECTS/DWI-ASPECTS, HT diagnosis, ECASS classification, and TICI score. Weighted kappa (κw) values and proportions of answers with ≤1 point difference were also calculated for ASPECTS and DWI-ASPECTS
