Data are presented with 95% confidence interval. Early neurological deterioration was characterized by an increase of ≥2 points in the NIHSS score between baseline and the 72-hour evaluation. All-cause mortality at the 3-month follow-up was derived from a combination of in-hospital mortality and post-discharge mortality. Adjusting factors: age, sex, prior stroke, preexisting dependency, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and history of malignancy. AAR; adjusted absolute risk; ARR: adjusted relative risk; mRS: modified Rankin Scale; NA: not available.
