Odds ratios for achieving better clinical status were computed (where possible), together with 95% confidence intervals and p-values of Chi-square test of independence (or Fisher’s exact test where necessary);
**
P-values of Mann-Whitney U test were computed to compare patients with three-month modified Rankin Scale (3M-mRS) score of 0–2 and patients with a three-month modified Rankin Scale score of 3–6.
