Multivariable logistic regression analysis of possible predictors of early neurological deterioration.

Variables	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Age	0.99 (0.95–1.03)	0.534
Sex	1.33 (0.53–3.33)	0.542
Maximum infarct diameter	1.13 (0.70–1.81)	0.622
LILI	0.76 (0.49–1.16)	0.202
MCA plaques	2.80 (1.14–6.89)	0.025*
rADC < 0.61	4.23 (1.58–11.61)	0.004*

OR, odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; LILI, the lowest infarct layer index; MCA, middle cerebral artery; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient.
