The goal was to provide a potential quantitative reference for implementing preventive interventions in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective nested case\u2013control design was adopted. A total of 822 patients with hemorrhagic stroke admitted between January 2019 and October 2024 were enrolled. Feature selection was performed using LASSO regression to eliminate multicollinearity and identify key predictors. Five machine learning algorithms\u2014logistic regression (LRC), gradient boosting classifier (GBC), random forest classifier (RFC), multilayer perceptron classifier (MLPC), and support vector machine classifier (SVC)\u2014were employed to construct predictive models. Hyperparameters were optimized through 10-fold cross-validation and grid search. Model performance was comprehensively evaluated on an independent test set using metrics including area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and F1-score. Finally, SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values were applied to interpret the optimal model and elucidate the contribution of each feature to the prediction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LASSO regression selected 14 key predictors from 57 initial variables. Among the five models, the logistic regression model achieved the best performance on the test set. SHAP-based interpretability analysis revealed that the most influential factors for pneumonia risk prediction were, in descending order: left lower limb muscle strength, total cholesterol (TC), right lower limb muscle strength, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), white blood cell count (WBC), consciousness status, D-dimer, age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and bleeding location.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study successfully developed a logistic regression-based predictive model for pneumonia risk in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. The model demonstrated favorable discrimination and stability. It provides an objective, quantitative basis for early identification of high-risk patients, stratified management, and precise prevention and control, supporting a shift from reactive to proactive complication management.<\/jats:p>\n
