The clinical and imaging variables used to train the prediction models.
| Clinical and demographic information | Imaging-based clinical features | Vascular geometric features |
|---|---|---|
| Age | ASPECTS score | Total length |
| Sex | Side of the stroke | Number of branches |
| Baseline NIHSS | Occlusion location | Total volume |
| History of stroke | Perfusion mismatch ratio and volume | Average diameter |
| Smoker (y/n) | Collateral index (CI)—ground truth | Tortuosity |
| Diabetes mellitus (y/n) | Fractal dimension | |
| Hypertension (y/n) | Auto-estimated CI |
NIHSS, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale; ASPECTS, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score. The cells in blue represent the conventionally used features, yellow refers to the automatically estimated CI using our method and green cells represent the novel vascular predictors.
