Abstract

BACKGROUND: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a clinical disorder caused by nontraumatic cerebrovascular disease with a high incidence, mortality, and disability rate. Most stroke survivors are left with speech and physical impairments, and emotional problems. Despite technological advances and improved treatment options, death and disability after stroke remain a major problem. Our research aims to develop interpretable hybrid machine learning (ML) models to accurately predict three-month unfavorable outcomes in patients with AIS.
