  • Note:—Exp. (β) indicates exponent of β.

  • a Due to the non-normal distribution of follow-up infarct volume, a log +1 transformation was performed to best fit the assumptions associated with the linear regression model.

  • b Exponent of β was calculated to determine the relative difference of follow-up infarct volume with an increase in collateral scores.
