  • Note:—SBP indicates systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; ONT, onset-to-needle time.

  • a Table cells express results in mean ± SD for normally distributed continuous variables, No. (%) for dichotomous variables, and median (interquartile range) for ordinal variables and non-normally distributed continuous variables, respectively.

  • b Twenty-four-hour CT scan: the proportion of patients imaged with CT rather than MRI for 24-hour follow-up imaging.

  • c Proportion of Penumbral Tissue Loss = 100 × (Posttreatment Infarct Volume − Pretreatment Infarct Volume)/(Pretreatment Hypoperfusion Volume − Pretreatment Infarct Volume).

  • d Poor outcome = 3-month modified Rankin Scale score ≥ 2.

  • e P < .05.
