Key risk indicators included alterations in vascular density, calibre, and the complexity of retinal structures. Among these, a decrease in the density of arterial bifurcations and macular vessels emerged as the strongest predictor, increasing stroke risk by 10.7% to 19%. Additional contributors, such as central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE) and vessel length ratio, further bolstered predictive models.<\/p>\n<p>Integrating these retinal metrics into traditional risk assessment frameworks significantly enhanced the precision of stroke prediction.
