    Acute dizziness accounts for about 4% of emergency department visits, posing challenges in differentiating between benign and life-threatening conditions.

  • 2

    Current diagnostic methods for stroke in dizzy patients are limited, with significant rates of misdiagnosis and missed cases in emergency settings.

  • 3

    A clinical decision support tool is needed to improve stroke risk assessment in patients with acute dizziness, leveraging electronic medical record data.

  • 4

    The study utilized a retrospective cohort design, extracting data from a large database to develop a prediction model for stroke risk in dizzy patients.

  • 5

    Natural language processing and machine learning techniques were employed to analyze structured and unstructured data for stroke risk prediction.
