  • Note:—GEEs indicates generalized estimating equations.

  • a With logistic regression analysis and the GEEs method, the actual stroke diagnosis was modelled on different observed diagnoses (NCCT alone, NCCT + CTA-SI, NCCT + CTA-SI + CTP) when adjusting for the corresponding confidence score. OR < 1 indicates that patients with a positive diagnosis on MRI are more likely to have a lower level of confidence (1 = definitely present, 2 = probably present, 3 = possibly present, 4 = possibly absent, 5 = probably absent, 6 = definitely absent).

  • b Statistically significant.
