Notes: Values were expressed as median (interquartile range) or counts. The “-I” and “-F” represent the initial and final functional assessments, respectively. a126 IS and 21 ICH patients were evaluated. b152 IS and 28 ICH patients were evaluated. c160 IS and 30 ICH patients were evaluated. *p value ≤ 0.05.
