Association between baseline characteristics and early neurological deterioration.

Dependent Variable	* Adjusted OR (95% CI)	p-Value
Age	1.07 (1.02–1.13)	0.005
Male sex	0.97 (0.36–2.61)	0.953
Baseline NIHSS score	0.91 (0.82–1.02)	0.106
ASPECT value	0.78 (0.56–1.07)	0.120
Location of intracranial occlusion	0.89 (0.49–1.59)	0.690
Serum glucose	1.01 (1.01–1.02)	0.002
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio	1.11 (1.04–1.18)	0.001

ORs for every 1-point increase in age, NIHSS score, serum glucose, ASPECT value, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and male sex are obtained with logistic regression analysis. * Adjustment for age, sex, baseline NIHSS score, ASPECT value, location of intracranial occlusion, serum glucose, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. Abbreviations: ASPECT = Alberta Stroke Program Early CT, CI = confidence interval, NIHSS = National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, OR = odds ratio.
