Patients were classified into three groups according to whether their index was low (\u22640.90), borderline (0.91\u20131.10), or normal (1.11\u20131.40). We compared the index between patients who showed early neurological deterioration or not, which was defined as an increase of at least one point on the motor item on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) or at least two points on the total NIHSS score during the first week after admission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 408 patients in our analysis, 120 (29.4%) showed early neurological deterioration. ABI showed the following distribution: low, 108 patients (26.5%); borderline, 136 (33.3%); and normal, 164 (40.2%). In multivariate regression, borderline values of ABI (0.91\u20131.10) were associated with significantly lower risk of early neurological deterioration (OR 0.457, 95% CI: 0.246\u20130.848), whereas low values (\u22640.90) were associated with significantly higher risk (OR 1.975, 95% CI: 1.110\u20133.512).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Low ABI may independently predict increased risk of early neurological deterioration following acute isolated pontine infarction.
