Demographic, clinical, and neuroimaging data were collected, and cognitive function was assessed 3\u20136 months post-stroke. PSCI was defined as a z-score\u2009\u2264\u2009-2.0 in at least one of four cognitive domains. A stacking ensemble model was developed, combining six base algorithms: XGBoost, Gradient Boosting Decision Trees, CatBoost, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, and LightGBM. The final prediction was generated by a meta-model trained on base model outputs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 1070 patients (mean age 67.4\u2009\u00b1\u20099.3 years, 61.5% male), 37.2% developed PSCI.
