BACKGROUND: Though currently considered a 'black box,' machine learning (ML) has a promising future to ameliorate the health-care burden of stroke which is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Through this study, we sought to review the most influential articles on the applications of ML in stroke.

METHODS: Web of Sciences database was searched, and a list of the top 50 most cited articles, assessing the application of ML in stroke, was prepared by 2 authors, independently. Subsequently, a detailed analysis was performed to characterize the most impactful studies.

RESULTS: The total number of citations to the top 50 articles were 2959 (range 35-243 citations) with a median of 47 citations. Highest number of articles were published in the journal Stroke and the United States was the major contributing country. The majority of the studies focused on the utilization of ML to improve stroke risk prediction, diagnosis, and outcome prediction. Statistical analysis revealed an insignificant association between the total and mean number of citations and the impact factor of the journal (P = 0.516 and 0.987, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: Recent years have witnessed a surge in the application of ML in stroke, with an enhancement in interest and funding over the years. ML has revolutionized the management of stroke and continues to aid in the neurosurgical decision-making and care in stroke patients.
