Data are presented as median (interquartile range) or percentage.
IS = ischemic stroke, ICH = intracerebral hemorrhage, SAH = subarachnoid hemorrhage, ICU = intensive care unit, IVT = intravenous thrombolysis, EVT = endovascular treatment, CEA = carotid endarterectomy, CAS = carotid artery angioplasty or stenting, NOACs = non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants, mRS = modified Rankin Scale.
aArrival time was calculated as the interval from first-found abnormal time (FAT) to arrival time; bAdmission unit was calculated excluding missing cases. The number of missing cases in each stroke type is as below; ischemic stroke, 91 (0.6%); intracerebral hemorrhage, 20 (0.7%); subarachnoid hemorrhage, 9 (0.5%); cmRS score was calculated excluding missing cases. The number of missing cases in each stroke type is as below; ischemic stroke, 3,745 (25.0%); intracerebral hemorrhage, 1,379 (48.6%); subarachnoid hemorrhage, 693 (39.6%).
