  • *For each simulation the median value of the five differences between 6 hours was taken.

  • †The per minute QALY results are depicted as disability-free life days gained (DALY). This is the daily value of a QALY (DALY=QALY/365).

  • ‡Outcome for the Dutch LVO stroke population if faster EVT is performed.
