*For non-stroke patients, the five most frequent discharge diagnoses are shown.
†All TIA patients were still symptomatic during initial stroke score assessment and consequently analysed together with the ischaemic stroke cases.
‡Non-traumatic intracranial haemorrhage only (including 11 spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhages).
§Pulmonary, gastrointestinal or urinary tract.
GCS, Glasgow Coma Scale; pmRS, premorbid modified Rankin Scale; TIA, transient ischaemic attack.
