Baseline discrepancies between HPSAAT participants and age-sex matched nonparticipants. The histogram of baseline NIHSS showed the different distribution of severity between groups. There were more moderate to severe strokes among the HPSAAT participants with acute and subacute ischemic stroke than the age-sex matched nonHPSAAT controls (a). The number and percentage of baseline mRS showed that the HPSAAT participants were more dependent than the random controls (b).
