Early prediction of unfavorable outcome after ischemic stroke is significant for clinical management. Machine learning as a novel computational modeling technique could help clinicians to address the challenge. We aim to investigate the applicability of machine learning models for individualized prediction in ischemic stroke patients and demonstrate the utility of various model-agnostic explanation techniques for machine learning predictions. A total of 499 consecutive patients with Unfavorable [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 3–6, n = 140] and favorable (mRS score 0–2, n = 359) outcome after 6-month from ischemic stroke were enrolled in this study. Four machine learning models, including Random Forest [RF], eXtreme Gradient Boosting [XGBoost], Adaptive Boosting [Adaboost] and Support Vector Machine [SVM] were performed with the area-under-the-curve (AUC): (90.20 ± 0.22)%, (86.91 ± 1.05)%, (86.49 ± 2.35)%, (81.89 ± 2.40)%, respectively. Three global interpretability techniques (Feature Importance shows the contribution of selected features, Partial Dependence Plot aims to visualize the average effect of a feature on the predicted probability of unfavorable outcome, Feature Interaction detects the change in the prediction that occurs by varying the features after considering the individual feature effects) and one local interpretability technique (Shapley Value indicates the probability of unfavorable outcome of different instances) have been applied to present the interpretability techniques via visualization. Thereby, the current study is important for better understanding intelligible healthcare analytics via explanations for the prediction of local and global levels, and potentially reduction of the mortality of patients with ischemic stroke by assisting clinicians in the decision-making process.
