Data are n (%) or mean±SD values except where indicated otherwise. Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, height, weight, NIHSS score category, creatinine level, and diabetes (variables with p<0.1 based on protocol), Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, height, weight, NIHSS score category, creatinine level, diabetes, and CHADS2 score, Model 3: adjusted for age, sex, height, weight, NIHSS score category, creatinine level, diabetes, and CHA2DS2-VASc score.

*p value for unadjusted analysis: for categorical variables, chi-square test or Fisher's exact test; for continuous variables, t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test, By logistic regression model; modeling the probability of TTR <60%.
