LASSO regression (Figure 2) followed by multivariable logistic regression revealed that elevated platelet count (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01–1.04, p = 0.002), higher NIHSS score (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.25–3.55, p = 0.011), higher ABCD2 score (OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.04–3.60, p = 0.047),presence of intracranial atherosclerosis (OR = 10.5, 95% CI: 1.54–99.0, p = 0.024), and male sex (OR = 5.57, 95% CI: 1.32–27.9, p = 0.024) were independent predictors of infarction (Table 2). Here, ABCD2 is linked to infarction.
