BACKGROUND: The effect of renal impairment in patients who receive intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is unclear. We aimed to determine the associations of renal impairment and clinical outcomes and any modification of the effec...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Early identification of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is an important challenge for clinicians. In this study, we aimed to build a machine learning-based prediction model for PSCI and uncover potential risk factors...
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are serious complication for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), often resulting in poor functional outcomes. However, no existing model can specifically predict HAI in AIS patients. Therefore, we employed t...
Multimodal data, while being information-rich, contains complementary as well as redundant information. Depending on the target problem some modalities are more informative and thus relevant for decision-making. Identifying the optimal subset of moda...

BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common after stroke. Still, routine screening of OSA with polysomnography (PSG) is often unfeasible in clinical practice, primarily because of how limited resources are and the physical condition of patien...
PURPOSE: Embolic stroke of unidentified source (ESUS) represents 10-25% of all ischemic strokes. Our goal was to determine whether ESUS could be reclassified to cardioembolic (CE) or large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) with machine learning (ML) using...

OBJECTIVES: Similarities between acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke make diagnosis and triage challenging. We studied a smartphone-based quantitative pupillometer for differentiation of acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
BACKGROUND: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with hemorrhagic transformation (HT) further worsening outcomes. Traditional scoring systems have limited predictive accuracy for HT in AIS. Recent research has expl...

BACKGROUND: Although oral anticoagulation decreases the risk of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), a residual risk of thrombotic events still exists. This study aimed to construct machine learning (ML) models to predict the re...
