In this study, logistic regression was used to examine the association between certain clinical variables and the risk of having a stroke. The information gathered for this study came from computed tomography (CT) scans of the brain and carotid Doppler testing. The dataset underwent preprocessing to normalize the variables; it started with 334 occurrences. Ultimately, 654 instances were created as a result of the preprocessing approach, which included binary categorization of stroke history and standardization of stenosis severity. A strong positive association between stroke and severe stenosis was shown by the research. Stroke was 6.326% more likely to occur in people with severe stenosis compared to those without (p < 0.001). Atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus were among the many other risk factors that were comparatively common. Future development of severe stenosis is more likely in patients with any of these diseases.
