AIC, Akaike information criterion; BIC, Bayesian information criterion; MV, multivariable; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference. MV represents multiple variables such as age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale score, history of stroke, stroke subtype (cardioembolism, small-vessel occlusion, large-artery atherosclerosis, or others), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission, and reperfusion therapy. The model fit was evaluated using the AIC or BIC. Statistical significance was evaluated using the likelihood ratio. *WC or BMI was added to the multivariable model including BMI or WC, respectively.
