Table 3.

Age, NIHSS, TOAST criteria of ischemic stroke, and mRS score upon discharge comparison between seizure and non-seizure groups.

		Early PSS (n = 45)		No early PSS (n = 964)		P-value
		Count/mean	Percentage/SD	Count/mean	Percentage/SD
Age		57.8	15.8	53.0	13.4	0.021
NIHSS		13.4	7.2	9.7	6.1	<0.001
mRS		4.32	1.34	2.84	1.70	<0.001

EMB, cardioembolic etiology of stroke; LVD, large vessel disease etiology of stroke; SDE, stroke due to other determined etiology; SUE, stroke of unknown origin; SVD, small vessel disease etiology of stroke.

^†Differences in early PSS rates were significant between the SUE group and each of the SVD and SDE groups. The bold values represent p-values that reached statistical significance.
