These differences did not remain significant in the propensity-score matched-cohort but they are close to significance for the number of passes more than 2 (adjusted OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.63 to 1.01; P =0.059) and for time from groin puncture to successful reperfusion ≤45 minutes (adjusted OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.62; P =0.053) in the propensity score-adjusted cohort.
