Description
Summary:Background and purposeRecurrent stroke accounts for 25–30% of all preventable strokes, and this study was conducted to establish a machine learning-based clinical predictive rice idol for predicting stroke recurrence within 1 year in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).MethodsA total of 645 AIS patients at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were screened, included and followed up for 1 year for comprehensive clinical data. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression (LR) were used to screen the risk factors of stroke recurrence. The data set was randomly divided into training set and test set according to the ratio of 7:3, and the following six prediction models were established by machine algorithm: random forest (RF), Naive Bayes model (NBC), decision tree (DT), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), gradient boosting machine (GBM) and LR. The model with the strongest prediction performance was selected by 10-fold cross-validation and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and the models were investigated for interpretability by SHAP. Finally, the models were constructed to be visualized using a web calculator.ResultsLogistic regression analysis showed that right hemisphere, homocysteine (HCY), C-reactive protein (CRP), and stroke severity (SS) were independent risk factors for the development of stroke recurrence in AIS patients. In 10-fold cross-validation, area under curve (AUC) ranked from 0.777 to 0.959. In ROC curve analysis, AUC ranged from 0.887 to 0.946. RF model has the best ability to predict stroke recurrence, and HCY has the largest contribution to the model. A web-based calculator https://mlmedicine-re-stroke2-re-stroke2-baylee.streamlitapp.com/ has been developed accordingly.ConclusionThis study identified four independent risk factors affecting recurrence within 1 year in stroke patients, and the constructed RF-based prediction model had good performance.
