Development and validation of an interpretable risk prediction model for perioperative ischemic stroke in noncardiac, nonvascular, and nonneurosurgical patients: a retrospective study

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Perioperative stroke is a severe complication for patients undergoing non-cardiac, non-vascular, and non-neurosurgical surgeries, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Despite its clinical relevance, effective predictive models for stroke risk in this population are scarce. This study seeks to develop and validate an interpretable predictive model that incorporates essential perioperative variables to assess stroke risk. The goal is to enhance risk stratification and support more informed clinical decision-making. Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 106,328 patients aged 18 years or older who underwent non-cardiac, non-vascular, and non-neurosurgical surgeries at our institution. The development cohort comprised 74,429 patients, with 140 perioperative stroke incidents, while the validation cohort consisted of 31,899 patients, with 59 incidents. Risk factors for perioperative stroke were identified using univariable logistic regression analysis. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression method was applied to select variables, followed by the development, validation, and performance evaluation of the predictive model using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: = 0.650). Additionally, the SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) interpretability model was integrated to enhance the model's transparency, allowing clinicians to better understand the contribution of each predictor. Decision curve analysis confirmed the model's significant net benefit, further validating its clinical utility. Conclusion: This study developed and validated a robust predictive model for perioperative stroke risk in patients undergoing non-cardiac, non-vascular, and non-neurosurgical procedures. Despite its retrospective design, the model exhibited strong performance and clinical relevance. It provides a solid foundation for future multi-center studies aimed at refining and expanding its applicability.
