Abbreviation: OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; BMI: body mass index; NIHSS: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; Hs-CRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

a

Note that the odds ratio corresponds to a unit increase in the explanatory variable

b

Log-transformed to achieve normal distribution. Note that the odds ratio corresponds to a log unit increase in the explanatory variable
