aAdjusted for age and educational level, btested with 5 minutes delay, cscaled score, and dcumulative percentage. 5Anxiety and/or depression was defined as HADS ≥ 15, fanxiety was defined as HADS-A≥8, and fdepression was defined as HADS-D≥8. Fatigue defined as FSS ≥ 5. hp value between ischemic stroke and NSTEMI ∗P value ≤0.05 compared with normative data.
