  1. Continuous variables are presented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA was used for continuous variables, and Fisher’s exact test was used for categorical variables. BMI, body mass index. BP, blood pressure. HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c. sICH, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. LDL, low-density lipoprotein. NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. mRS, modified Rankin Scale. TIA, transient ischemic attack. tPA, tissue plasminogen activator. *p-value < 0.05.
