Data are n (%), mean (SD), or median (IQR).
ODT, onset to door time; SBP, Systolic blood pressure; DBP, Diastolic blood pressure; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale.
#Pre-stroke dependency defined as a score of 3–5 of the modified Rankin Scale.
†NIHSS scores can range from 0 (healthy) to 42 (coma with quadriplegia).*GCS scores can range from 3 (deep coma) to 15 (healthy).
