Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The role of surgery in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) remains controversial. We aimed to use explainable machine learning (ML) combined with propensity-score matching to investigate the effects of surgery and identify subgroups of patients with SICH who may benefit from surgery in an interpretable fashion.
