Early initiation of anticoagulation
Late initiation of anticoagulation
For patients with NIHSS 0-3, anticoagulation therapy will be initiated within 0-3 days of onset. For patients with NIHSS 4-8, anticoagulation therapy will be initiated within 4-6 days of onset.
For patients with NIHSS 0-3, anticoagulation therapy will be initiated within 4-12 days of onset. For patients with NIHSS 4-8, anticoagulation therapy will be initiated within 7-12 days of onset.
