Data were expressed as frequencies for categorical variables and as the mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables. YD: Yin Deficiency. TOAST: Trial of ORG 10172 in acute stroke treatment. LAA: large-artery atherosclerosis. CE: cardioembolism. SVO: small-vessel occlusion. SOE: stroke of other etiology. SUE: stroke of undetermined etiology. TIA: transient ischemic attack. value was calculated using the Student’s -test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables and the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. values with statistical significance are shown in bold (<0.05).
