  1. Covariates adjusted for in the logistic regression models were age, sex, NIHSS score, atrial fibrillation, and successful recanalization for death or disability; age, sex, hypertension, and NIHSS score for any hemorrhagic transformation; and none for parenchymal hemorrhage. Generalized linear mixed models were employed to model all of the time points together. Bold type indicates significant results (P < 0.05). *False discovery rate–adjusted P < 0.05
