Table 2. Unadjusted and Adjusted Rates of Short-Term or Intermediate-Term Events in Subjects Included in the Analysis.
Outcomes | Subjects who underwent non-therapeutic angiograms (n = 89) | Subjects who received IV rt-PA alone (n = 222) | Unadjusted OR (95% CI);p-value | Adjusted OR (95% CI);p-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Neurological deterioration within 24 (±6) h* | 9/83 (10.8) | 29/209 (13.9) | 0.7 (0.3–1.7); p = 0.49 | 1 (0.4–2.3); p = 1 |

Abbreviations: OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; IV: intravenous; rt-PA: recombinant tissue plasminogen activator; AKI: acute kidney injury
NIHSS score at 24 (±6) h was available for 83/89 patients who underwent catheter-based non-therapeutic angiograms and for 209/222 patients who did not undergo catheter-based angiogram.
Significant p-values at <0.05 level of significance.
