  1. Positive B values (Adj, OR > 1) denote variables more associated with telestroke patients while negative B values (Adj. OR < 1) denote variables more associated with non-telestroke patients. Multicollinearity and interactions among independent variables were checked. Hosmer-Lemeshow test (P = 0.089), Cox & Snell (R2 = 0.432), Classification table (overall correctly classified percentage = 85.3%) were applied to check the model fitness
