Three main prognostic clinical variables at the time of admission (A) were included in the Combined and Clinical + Treament models. The treatment variables of post-thrombectomy reperfusion success (mTICI ascore) and intravenous thrombolytic treatment (B) were used in the Radiomics + Treatment, Clinical + Treatment, and Combined models. Six machine-learning classifiers (C) and 6 feature selection methods (D) were used in 36 combinations for the Radiomics, Radiomics + Treatment, Combined models, while feature selection was omitted in Clinical + Treatment models. Machine-learning and feature selection abbreviations were previsouly described in detail (Haider et al., 2020b) and are summarized in the supplementary methods.
