In the external validation cohort (N.=156), the two models achieved AUCs of 0.842 (95%CI: 0.768-0.916) and 0.831 (95%CI: 0.758-0.904), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that hematoma volume (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.21-1.51, per 10 mL increase), admission INR (OR=3.17, 95%CI: 2.04-4.93, >1.4 vs. ≤1.4), midline shift (OR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.13-1.44, per 1 mm increase), and preoperative platelet count (OR=0.83, 95%CI: 0.76-0.91, per decrease of 20×10<sup>9</sup>/L) were independent risk factors for IOR. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that machine learning models provided higher net clinical benefit than traditional ICH and FUNC scores.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Machine learning prediction models validated across multiple centers can accurately assess the risk of IOR and postoperative functional recovery in ICH patients, thereby guiding individualized treatment decisions and potentially improving patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":16504,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neurosurgical sciences","volume":" ","pages":"196-215"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147486301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
