Subgroup analyses of the effect of the total EMS response time and the CSC score on outcomes. The forest plot shows the effect size of a 1-min increase of the total EMS response time on the mRS score at discharge in phases I (panel a) and II (panel b), respectively, in the MT group, analyzed according to ordinal logistic regression across subgroups. Dots indicate point estimates for the effect of the total EMS response time. The forest plot shows the effect size of a 1-point increase of the CSC score on the mRS score at discharge in phases I (panel c) and II (panel d), respectively, in the MT group, analyzed according to ordinal logistic regression across subgroups. Dots indicate point estimates for the effect of the CSC score. EMS emergency medical services; CSC comprehensive stroke center; mRS modified Rankin Scale; MT mechanical thrombectomy.
