Quantitative and numeric ordinal data are presented as mean ± standard deviation or median (IQR). Categorical data are presented as an absolute number (percentage). * Significant differences are denoted by an asterisk. BAO—basilar artery occlusion, MCAO—middle cerebral artery occlusion, NIHSS—National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, END—early neurological deterioration, FR—futile recanalization, mRS—modified Rankin Scale, sICH—symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage.
