Table 4. Association between rt-PA and clinical outcomes in the PS-matched cohort.

Events (%) Unadjusted
rt-PA-treated, n = 148 rt-PA non-treated, n = 148 OR 95% CI P
Neurological improvement 91 (61.5) 56 (37.8) 2.67 1.61–4.40 <0.001
Good functional outcome 37 (25.0) 21 (14.2) 2.23 1.16–4.29 0.02
In-hospital mortality 13 (8.8) 32 (21.6) 0.30 0.13–0.65 0.003
Any ICH 17 (11.5) 12 (8.1) 1.45 0.68–3.13 0.34
Symptomatic ICH 7 (4.7) 6 (4.1) 1.17 0.39–3.47 0.78

OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval, ICH: intracranial hemorrhage. Neurological improvement was defined as a ≥4 point decrease in the NIHSS score during hospitalization or a NIHSS score of 0 at discharge. Good functional outcome was defined as an mRS score of 0–2 at discharge.
