Predicting ischemic stroke admissions based on weather patterns for improved clinical resource allocation using machine learning

Background: Weather factors like temperature, pressure, and humidity contribute to stroke risk, which will be potentiated by the impending global climate crisis [1]. Our study aimed to predict the number of ischemic stroke cases at clinically relevant time resolutions in order to improve healthcare resource allocation. [ ...]

Rainstorms with a splash of blood: machine learning-based predictive analytics for hemorrhagic stroke admission based on  weather systems

Background: The climate crisis impacts cardiovascular health and stroke, contributing significantly to the global disease burden. Weather-based disease surveillance for healthcare providers is lacking.


Aim: Hence, we aimed to forecast the number of daily hemorrhagic stroke admissions based on meteorological parameters by applying machine learning models. [...]
