TC, total cholesterol; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC/HDL‐C, TC to HDL‐C ratio; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. P‐values are obtained from a logistic regression model. Statistically significant results are in italic font.

^aOR, adjusted for age and gender.

^bOR, a with additional adjustment for smoking, NIHSS, medical history, stoke etiology, and laboratory characteristics (WBC, platelet, glucose, and creatinine).
