    A multimodal machine learning model was developed to predict postoperative worsening of FOGQ scores in Parkinson’s disease patients after STN-DBS.

  • 2

    The study analyzed data from 134 patients, integrating clinical assessments, neuroimaging features, and radiomics for improved predictive accuracy.

  • 3

    The LightGBM model achieved an AUC of 0.917, indicating robust discrimination between patients with and without postoperative FOGQ deterioration.

  • 4

    Findings emphasize the importance of multimodal data integration for preoperative risk stratification and personalized treatment planning.

  • 5

    External validation in prospective multicenter cohorts is necessary to confirm the model's effectiveness in predicting postoperative outcomes.
