  • a Variables age, sex, baseline NIHSS score, baseline NCCT ASPECTS, onset/last known well to imaging time, EVT, and the interaction term imaging paradigm × EVT (yes versus no) were included in all models. C-statistic represents the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve. AIC and BIC are Bayesian information criteria methods to assess model fit in which the model with the lowest AIC or BIC is preferred. AIC/BIC (o) denotes the AIC and BIC for the ordinal regression models.
