Values are (%) for categorical variables and or median (IQR) for continuous variables. SD: standard deviation; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; ICH: intracerebral hemorrhage; GCS: Glasgow coma scale. GCS score on admission was evaluated in 39,216 (52.0%) patients.
