- Severity of disability at Day 90 assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) with a good functional outcome defined by mRS score. [ Time Frame: 90 Days ]Severity of disability at Day 90 (± 14) assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) with a good functional outcome defined as mRS of 0-2 for each technique.
- Proportion of subjects with an excellent functional outcome at Day 90 [ Time Frame: 90 Days ]Proportion of subjects with an excellent functional outcome of mRS of 0-1 at Day 90 (± 14)
- Proportion of subjects with an "early response" defined by NIHSS score [ Time Frame: Discharge/ Day 5-7 (Whichever is earlier) ]Proportion of subjects with an "early response" at Discharge/Day5-7 (whichever is earlier) defined as a NIHSS drop of ≥10 points from baseline or NIHSS score of 0 or 1
- Quality of Life at day 90 based on EQ5D5L score [ Time Frame: Day 90 ]Quality of Life at Day 90 (± 14) assessed by EuroQoL (EQ5D5L)
