  1. HTf indicated hemorrhagic transformation; OR, odds ratio; and CI, confidence interval.
  2. *ORs (95% CI) were adjusted by age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, current smoking, initial NIHSS score, thrombolysis, acute heparin treatment, stroke subtype, previous aspirin use, previous warfarin use, and the presence of advanced WMLs and cerebral microbleeds.
  3. P < 0.05.
