Higher WMH volumes were independently associated with a lower likelihood of ENI (odds ratio (OR) per twofold increase [95% confidence interval]: total, 0.57 [0.43\u20130.76]; periventricular, 0.57 [0.43\u20130.76]; deep, 0.68 [0.54\u20130.86]). Periventricular WMH volume was also associated with an unfavorable shift in 3-month mRS (common OR, 0.80 [0.65\u20130.99]). Increasing total SVD score was associated with worse 3-month mRS shift (common OR, 0.61 [0.43\u20130.85]) and a non-significant trend against ENI (OR, 0.70 [0.48\u20131.01];\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.056).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Greater SVD burden was associated with a poorer neurological response to iHT in SVO stroke with END.
