Objective: The role of surgery in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) remains controversial. We aimed to use explainable machine learning (ML) combined with propensity-score matching to investigate the effects of surgery and identify subgroups of patients with SICH who may benefit from surgery in an interpretable fashion.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of a cohort of 282 patients aged ≥21 years with SICH.

Objective: This study aims to develop and compare the use of deep neural networks (DNN) and support vector machines (SVM) to clinical prognostic scores for prognosticating 30-day mortality and 90-day poor functional outcome (PFO) in spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (SICH).

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 297 SICH patients between December 2014 and May 2016. Clinical data was collected from electronic medical records using standardized data collection forms.
