λ 0.205 (30.6)
θ CNIHSS0 0.469 (25.2)

AMP, amplitude; CV, coefficient of variation; DIS, disease progression model for NIHSS scores; DROPINC, incidence model for dropout; DROPTTE, TTE model for dropout; D(t), longitudinal change of latent disease severity; HEM, TTE model for haemorrhagic transformation; NIHSS0, initial NIHSS score; SLO, slope of D(t); TTE, time to event

For DIS, the model is as follows: D(t) = D0 + AMP · (1 − eSLO · t)

For DROPINC, DROPTTE and HEM, the models are as follows:

P(Y = 1) = expθ0+θNIHSS0·NIHSS0+θINF·INF1+expθ0+θNIHSS0·NIHSS0+θINF·INF for DROPINC

h(t) = λ ·  exp (γ · t) ·  exp (θCNIHSS0 · CNIHSS0) for DROPTTE

h(t) = λ · γ · tγ − 1 ·  exp (θPNIHSS · PNIHSS) for HEM

where INF denotes location of infarction, NIHSS0 denotes observed initial NIHSS score; CNIHSS0 denotes categorized NIHSS0, defined as CNIHSS0 = 1 for NIHSS0 ≤ 15, CNIHSS0 = 2 for 16 ≤ NIHSS0 ≤ 20 and CNIHSS0 = 3 for NIHSS0 ≥ 21; and PNIHSS denotes predicted NIHSS score
