Abstract

MOTIVATION: Acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and disability worldwide, often followed by a long rehabilitation period. To improve and personalize stroke rehabilitation, it is essential to provide a reliable prognosis to caregivers and patients. Deep learning techniques might improve the predictions by incorporating different data modalities. We present a multimodal approach to predict the functional status of acute ischemic stroke patients after their discharge based on tabular data and CT perfusion imaging.
