Significance of plasma VEGF values in prediction of functional outcome. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratio for functional outcome per 100 pg/mL increase in VEGF values at the indicated days after ischemic stroke in CE (A) and ATBI (B). The multivariate model included age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, neurological severity (NIHSS at day 0) and thrombolytic therapy. OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval.
