  • Note:—OR indicates odds ratio; adjOR, adjusted odds ratio.

  • a OR and adjOR values comparing the 3-month clinical outcome between IVT and IES, after adjustment for confounding factors using an exact logistic regression.

  • b P for comparison between IVT and IES (χ2 test or Fisher exact test).
