Table 3. The relationship between fatty acids composition and poor functional outcome (mRS ≥3)^*.

^*Binary logistic regression analysis with modified Rankin scale [0-2] as reference; ^†Adjusted age, sex, and variables with P value < 0.1 in univariate analysis (smoking, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score, stroke subtype, and 16:0 palmitic acid); ^‡R²=0.542 after entering EPA, P value of goodness of fit=0.969; R²=0.560 after entering DHA, P value of goodness of fit=0.999; R²=0.563 after entering Σ ω3-PUFA, P value of goodness of fit=0.999.

mRS, modified Rankin Scale; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; EPA, 20:5 ω3 eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, 22:6 ω3 docosahexaenoic acid; PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
