Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-290 daysthe minimum and maximum values of mRS are 0 and 6, respectively; higher mRS mean a worse outcome

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-190 daysthe minimum and maximum values of mRS are 0 and 6, respectively; higher mRS mean a worse outcome
changes in National Institute of Health stroke scale7 days and 14 daysthe minimum and maximum values of NIHSS are 0 and 42, respectively; higher NIHSS mean a worse outcome
changes in Barthel index (BI) scale30 days and 90 daysthe minimum and maximum values of BI are 0 and 100, respectively; higher BI mean a good outcome
