An ensemble Stacking model using baseline clinical, neurological, and MRI features predicted one-year AIS grade and motor/independence scores in TCSCI patients with high discrimination and low error on external testing.
By August 2026, researchers had developed and externally validated a two-layer Stacking ensemble that integrates baseline clinical data, neurological assessments, and cervical MRI features to predict one-year outcomes after traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. In 340 patients analyzed, the model predicted AIS grade with AUC 0.85 and predicted continuous motor and independence scores with R8 above 0.986.
