Association between the severity of white matter hyperintensity and poor functional outcomes in patients with BABAD

	Model 1			Model 2
	OR	95% CI	p	OR	95% CI	p
Periventricular WMH score ≥ 3	3.10	1.14–8.47	0.027	3.21	1.13–9.12	0.028
Subcortical WMH score ≥ 2	1.14	0.43–3.04	0.791	0.94	0.34–2.63	0.909

Model 1 = adjusted for age, sex, and stroke severity at admission (NIH Stroke Scale). Model 2 = adjusted for age, sex, stroke severity at admission, and vascular risk factors (i.e., hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and cigarette smoking)
