The primary outcome measure was mortality at\n30 and 90 days. The modified Ranking Scale wasused to assess the level of disability and mortality after stroke.\nStroke severity at admission was assessed using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Glasgow\nComa Scale (GCS). Examination included clinical neurological evaluation, laboratory tests and brain computed\ntomography (CT) scan. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox proportional hazard model were used for\nunadjusted and adjusted analysis to predict mortality.............................
