1
A multidimensional machine learning model was developed to predict early neurological deterioration (END) in acute ischemic stroke patients.
-
2
Five core predictors for END were identified: NIHSS score, blood glucose, infarct core volume, collateral circulation status, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
-
3
The Random Forest model outperformed K-Nearest Neighbors and Gradient Boosting Machine in predicting END, with AUC values of 0.779 and 0.775.

4
Admission NIHSS score, blood glucose, infarct core volume, and NLR were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients.

The study highlights the need for advanced predictive models to facilitate early identification and intervention for high-risk AIS patients.
