Abstract

BACKGROUND: Predicting long-term clinical outcome based on the early acute ischemic stroke information is valuable for prognostication, resource management, clinical trials, and patient expectations. Current methods require subjective decisions about which imaging features to assess and may require time-consuming postprocessing. This study's goal was to predict ordinal 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score in acute ischemic stroke patients by fusing a Deep Learning model of diffusion-weighted imaging images and clinical information from the acute period.
