Logistic regression analyses^* showing effects of in-hospital managements on the annual decrease in in-hospital mortality.

* All models were adjusted for age, sex, stroke severity on admission indicated by Rankin Scale, sum of comorbidities, year of admission, and separately for different in-hospital managements. ‡ Includes intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis. Models including thrombolysis considered the time period 2000–2008, models including antiplatelets considered the time period 2000–2002 and 2007–2008, models including antihypertensive therapy, antidiabetic, and statins considered the time period 2003–2008, models including anticoagulants and physiotherapy considered the time period 2000–2008, modes including admission to Stroke Unit considered the time period 2000–2006. Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval Logistic regression analyses* showing effects of in-hospital managements on the annual decrease in in-hospital mortality.
