Smoking (yes vs. no)	0.74 (0.33-1.70)	0.465
Time from stroke onset to admission (> 24 hours vs. ≤ 24 hours)	1.57 (0.73-3.39)	0.248
Qualifying event (Stroke vs. TIA)	1.22 (0.29-5.15)	0.783
NIHSS at admission (≥ 4 vs. < 4)	1.72 (0.75-3.91)	0.198

* The hazard ratio and HR p-value of the each variable were determined with the use of a Cox proportional-hazards regression model.
