MACO developed in 1.6%, MICO in 14.6%. Compared to patients without complications (NOCO), patients with MACO did not differ in terms of demographics, cerebrovascular risk factors, or site of vessel occlusion. They had more severe strokes (p\u2009=\u20090.026), neurological worsening was more severe (p\u2009=\u20090.008), and transport duration was longer (p\u2009=\u20090.050) but geographical distances did not differ. Thrombolysed patients had any complication more often than patients without thrombolysis (20.3% vs 10.5%; p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001); however, this finding was driven by patients with MICO (p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) only (MACO: p\u2009=\u20090.804). No associations were observed between stroke severity and complications in either thrombolysed or nonthrombolysed patients. Neurological deterioration during transfer was observed in 21.2%, but multivariate analysis revealed no association with thrombolysis (OR 0.962; 95%CI 0.670\u20131.380, p\u2009=\u20090.832). Asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was present in 1.1%, symptomatic in 0.1%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this large cohort, no patient-specific factor increasing the risk of complications during interhospital transfer was identified.
