Machine learning was used to find the most relevant variable - NIHSS (initial indication of stroke severity)
NIHSS = (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale
Best model adjustment found by Machine Learning was NIHSS * (1+ Vitamin D)
Plain English – If you have a "bad" stroke you especially need to add Vitamin D
 
Note by founder of VitaminDWiki
This could have been found 30 years ago by Machine Learning.
I had proposed giving a talk at the Vitamin D Workshop in 2019 on what modern ML can do
   but it was rejected

Poor Ischemic stroke outcome (END) 2.6 X worse if low vitamin D – March 2019
Stroke mortality 3X worse among seniors with less than 26 ng of vitamin D – June 2014
Stroke incidence not associated with low Vitamin D (but stroke outcome is) – Aug 2019

  • Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex.
  • Model 2 included variables in model 1 plus NIHSS and NIHSS*25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency interaction term.
  • Model 3 included variables in model 2 plus stroke subtype (TOAST classification) and intravenous thrombolysis.

Background and Purpose: Vitamin D is a predictor of poor outcome for cardiovascular disease. We evaluated whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was associated with poor outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) using machine learning approach.

Materials and Methods: We studied a total of 328 patients within 7 days of AIS onset. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was obtained within 24 h of hospital admission. Poor outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6. Logistic regression and extreme gradient boosting algorithm were used to assess association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with poor outcome. Prediction performances were compared with area under ROC curve and F1 score.

Results: Mean age of patients was 67.6 ± 13.3 years. Of 328 patients, 59.1% were men. Median 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was 10.4 (interquartile range, 7.1-14.8) ng/mL and 47.2% of patients were 25-hydroxyvitamin D-deficient (<10 ng/mL). Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency was a predictor for poor outcome in multivariable logistic regression analysis (odds ratio, 3.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-9.18, p = 0.017). Stroke severity, age, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D level were also significant predictors in extreme gradient boosting classification algorithm. Performance of extreme gradient boosting algorithm was comparable to those of logistic regression (AUROC, 0.805 vs. 0.746, p = 0.11).

Conclusions: 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in Korea and low 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was associated with poor outcome in patients with AIS. The machine learning approach of extreme gradient boosting was also useful to assess stroke prognosis along with logistic regression analysis.
