Predictors of short-and long-term mortality in the study group.

	OR (95% CI)	P value
Mortality by day 14 (n = 18)
NIHSS score on admission	1.12 (1.02–1.23)	0.013
FXIII activity in the lower quartile 24 h after thrombolysis	4.95 (1.31–18.68)	0.018
Mortality by the end of the 3rd month (n = 29)
NIHSS score on admission	1.16 (1.05–1.28)	0.004
FXIII activity in the lower quartile 24 h after thrombolysis	1.88 (0.55–6.41)	0.311

Backward multiple regression model included age, sex, NIHSS score on admission, active smoking, C-reactive protein levels and the categorical variable of factor XIII (FXIII) activity in the lower quartile as measured from samples taken 24 h after thrombolysis (time point C). n, number of patients; CI: confidence interval; NIHSS, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale.
