Abstract : A stroke is a serious medical emergency that happens when bleeding or blood clots cut off the blood flow to a part of the brain. With a mortality rate of 5.5 million per year, it ranks as the second leading cause of death globally. Over 15 million individuals experience a stroke each year, and one person dies from one every four minutes. According to the World Health Organization, stroke is the main cause of death and disability worldwide (WHO). Identifying the many stroke warning signs helps lessen the severity of the stroke. A stroke can be avoided in up to 80% of instances because it is typically the result of a poor lifestyle. As a result, stroke prediction becomes important and should be employed to stop it from causing long-term harm. The current study uses a variety of machine learning models, including Gaussian Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM), KNN and Random Forest to predict stroke. The paper presents the comparison among all machine learning algorithms. Analysis of results revealed that KNN had the least accuracy of 76.32% and Random Forest had the highest accuracy of 94.81%.
