The statistical evaluation of the study was conducted blindly by members of the Department of Statistics, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara University. Statistical analyses were performed using software (Version 20 SSPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA) for Windows. Variables are reported as mean and standard deviation or as median, as appropriate. The association between long-term prognosis indicators (cerebral palsy, epilepsy) and both positive prothrombotic risk factors (protein C, protein S, ATIII, homocysteine, factor V-Leiden, MTHFR, prothrombin) and infarction localization (anterior cerebral artery [ACA], MCA, posterior cerebral artery [PCA], and Watershed) was assessed using binary logistic regression analysis. The relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated. Statistical significance was set to indicate statistical significance.
