Article Abstract
All 12 models had excellent discrimination and calibration, with 8 of 12 meetings prespecified performance criteria (AUC ?0.8, mean absolute error ?0.4). Although DWI lesion volume significantly increased model explanatory power, the magnitude of increased was not large enough to be clinically important.
