  • Note:—IQR indicates interquartile range.

  • a Significant pair-wise difference between the imaging subgroup and the NCCT group.

  • b Applicable only to subjects with groin puncture: CTP+CTA (n = 60), CTA (n = 150), NCCT (n = 210).

  • c Applicable only to subjects who received endovascular therapy with non-missing start time: CTP+CTA (n = 49), CTA (n = 117), NCCT (n = 159).
