  • a Controlled for treatment type: endovascular, IV-tPA, and no reperfusion therapy.

  • b The exponentiated β-coefficient represents the multiplicative change in cost associated with an increase in 1 unit of a continuous variable (or the presence of a categoric variable), while holding all other variables constant.

  • c Multilevel variable with F-distribution.
