This pooled analysis revealed a significant benefit in all predefined subgroups (e.g., age above and below 50 years, time to randomization above and below 24 h, and dominant versus non-dominant hemisphere) with a number needed to treat of 4 for the prevention of poor outcome (i.e., mRS 4 to 6) and of 2 for survival.
