  1. Model 1, adjusted for age and sex
  2. Model 2, adjusted for age, sex, thrombolytic therapy, history of atrial fibrillation, admission WBC and platelet count
  3. The admission fasting serum TBA levels were not significantly associated with the severity of stroke whether adjusted for the confounders in AIS patients
