  1. LAMS Los Angeles Motor Scale, LVO Large-vessel occlusion, ICH Intracranial haemorrhage; Independently of having received vascular imaging, patients with ICH or stroke mimics are classified as LVO-negative
  2. a 60 of 1123 (5.3%) patients had no documented LAMS score, and 155 of 644 (24.1%) ischaemic stroke patients did not undergo vascular imaging; b 38 of 728 (5.2%) patients had no documented LAMS score, and 155 of 644 (24.1%) ischaemic stroke patients did not undergo vascular imaging
  3. 95% confidence intervals are reported in brackets
