A clinical prediction model based on interpretable machine learning algorithms for prolonged hospital stay in acute ischemic stroke patients: a real-world study

ObjectiveAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) brings an increasingly heavier economic burden nowadays. Prolonged length of stay (LOS) is a vital factor in healthcare expenditures. The aim of this study was to predict prolonged LOS in AIS patients based on an interpretable machine learning algorithm.MethodsWe...

description ObjectiveAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) brings an increasingly heavier economic burden nowadays. Prolonged length of stay (LOS) is a vital factor in healthcare expenditures. The aim of this study was to predict prolonged LOS in AIS patients based on an interpretable machine learning algorithm.MethodsWe enrolled AIS patients in our hospital from August 2017 to July 2019, and divided them into the “prolonged LOS” group and the “no prolonged LOS” group. Prolonged LOS was defined as hospitalization for more than 7 days. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was applied to reduce the dimensionality of the data. We compared the predictive capacity of extended LOS in eight different machine learning algorithms. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values were used to interpret the outcome, and the most optimal model was assessed by discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility.ResultsProlonged LOS developed in 149 (22.0%) of the 677 eligible patients. In eight machine learning algorithms, prolonged LOS was best predicted by the Gaussian naive Bayes (GNB) model, which had a striking area under the curve (AUC) of 0.878 ± 0.007 in the training set and 0.857 ± 0.039 in the validation set. The variables sorted by the gap values showed that the strongest predictors were pneumonia, dysphagia, thrombectomy, and stroke severity. High net benefits were observed at 0%–76% threshold probabilities, while good agreement was found between the observed and predicted probabilities.ConclusionsThe model using the GNB algorithm proved excellent for predicting prolonged LOS in AIS patients. This simple model of prolonged hospitalization could help adjust policies and better utilize resources.
