Neurological deficits and DWI restrictions at their time of emergency admission: listed are ratings on the NIHSS stroke scale (NIHSS), the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and modified Rankin Scale determined on day one (d1) and between days 7–14 (d7–14) post-stroke, symptom onset in hours and minutes, period length with abnormal yawning in hours, blood oxygen saturation in % (Biox), serum glucose levels, body temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), and heart rate in beats per minute (bpm). All data are provided as average ± standard deviation (SD)
