  1. CI Confidence interval, NLR Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
  2. aModel I: not adjusted for other covariates
  3. bModel II: adjusted for sex; age; history of diabetes; history of chronic kidney disease; baseline NIHSS score; bridging intravenous thrombolysis; cardioembolic stroke; internal carotid artery occlusion; favorable collateral circulation; pneumonia during hospitalization; symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage during hospitalization; sepsis during hospitalization; anticoagulation during hospitalization; use of invasive mechanical ventilation during hospitalization; use of vasopressors during hospitalization
  4. cIntercept: the mean NLR at day = 0 and death = 0
  5. dDay: the mean decrease in NLR at death = 0 over time (daily)
  6. eDeath: the difference in NLR at day = 0 between nonsurvivors = 1 and survivors = 0
  7. fDay × death: the mean decrease in NLR daily under the condition of nonsurvivors = 1 and survivors = 0
