Conclusion:XGBoost machine learning model can be recognized as a potential risk-stratification tool for planning early ultrasound follow-up for those who are uncertain for thrombosis risk including recurrent attack.Despite its limited sensitivity, the model may still help guide proactive ultrasound follow-up for high-risk patients.Assuming that earlier ultrasound follow-up may help identify pre-occlusive stenosis and enable timely PTA, this tool could support directing further effort to reduce real-world thrombosis.Further validation using prospective cohorts is warranted.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I used generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
