Abstract
BACKGROUND: As of 2014, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in Japan. Predicting a future diagnosis of stroke would better enable proactive forms of healthcare measures to be taken. We aim to predict a diagnosis of stroke within one year of the patient's last set of exam results or medical diagnoses.
