AI model helps predict strokes with more accuracy, researchers say

Researchers have developed a model to predict strokes with more accuracy than current models. Study authors used AI methods and available data from when patients enter the hospital.
Examining more than 143,000 hospital visits of patients in Florida acute care hospitals from 2012 to 2014, and social determinants of health data – including the conditions people are born into and live in, and what drives those conditions – from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the study's authors sought to develop a stroke-prediction algorithm.

Their model incorporated variables routinely collected by health care providers and payers, including basic demographics, the number of chronic conditions and insurance.
