Variables that had a potential association with impaired consciousness at stroke onset in univariate analysis (P < 0.1) were listed and included in the multivariate logistic regression using the Forward LR method. Hosmer and Lemeshow Test (P = 0.185).

*Adjusted odds ratios (OR) with P  < 0.05 in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. Figures in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals (CI).
