  1. MoCA score of < 23 or MMSE score of < 27 indicates cognitive impairment
  2. Model 1: adjusted for age, sex, and education level;
  3. Model 2: adjusted for model 1 and further adjusted for current smoking, alcohol drinking, time from onset to randomization, systolic blood pressure, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, baseline modified Rankin Scale score, medical history (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease), use of antihypertensive medications, randomized treatment, ischemic stroke subtype, anticoagulant treatment and hypoglycemic treatment
  4. Model 3: adjusted for model 2 and further adjusted for hsCRP
  5. Abbreviations: sST2 soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2, MoCA Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MMSE Mini-Mental State Examination, OR odds ratio
