Scores and course of disorder of all 517 patients and patient groups according to stroke territory, ACS and PCS. Data are expressed as number of patients (n) and percentages or median and interquartile range (IQR). BP indicates blood pressure; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; mRS, modified Rankin Scale; ICH, intracranial haemorrhage. P values were obtained according to Mann–Whitney U test, Pearson’s Chi-squared test and Fisher’s Exact test, where appropriate. P values < 0.05 are shown in bold.
