Assessing the Potential Risk Factors for Patients with Brain Stroke: A Retrospective Study

Abstract

The primary cause of impairment is stroke. When you factor in cancer and coronary heart disease, it is the third most common cause of death. It has a significant global impact on public health. The estimated five million stroke-related fatalities globally are expected to double due to anticipated significant changes in demographics and lifestyle, such as rising rates of obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking, and hypertension. This study traced the risk factors of brain stroke patients using the Kaggle search engine dataset, which comprised the medical records of 201 people with the condition. The mortality was modelled using the Cox regression approach, which took into consideration the observed covariates. It was determined that five variables significantly increased the incidence of brain stroke in patients.
