| mRS 0–1 at 3 months | 0.87 | 0.71–1.05 |
| IVT and MT | ||
| sICH | 0.92 | 0.51–1.69 |
| Improvement ≥ NIHSS 8 | 0.97 | 0.73–1.28 |
| mRS 0–2 | 0.87 | 0.65–1.16 |
| WUS/SUO IVT only | ||
| sICH | 0.83 | 0.49–1.4 |

| mRS 0–1 | 0.80 | 0.54–1.19 |
| WUS/SUO IVT and MT | ||
| sICH | 0.60 | 0.2–1.77 |
| Improvement ≥ NIHSS 8 | 0.74 | 0.44–1.23 |
