Objective: To develop a nomogram to predict macrosomia with a combination of clinical and ultrasound variables.
Methods: Data from 194 women who underwent sonographic fetal weight estimation were used to develop and calibrate a nomogram to predict fetal macrosomia. The nomogram was subjected to 200 bootstrap resamples for internal validation and to reduce overfit bias. An Internet-based tool was developed to facilitate use of the nomogram.
Results: The macrosomia prediction nomogram, based on parity, ethnicity, body mass index and fetal weight estimated macrosomia, had good discrimination and calibration before and after bootstrapping (area under curve (AUC), 0.860 and 0.850, respectively). The predictive accuracy of our nomogram was significantly better than was sonographically estimated fetal weight using Hadlock's formula (AUC, 0.740; P<0.001). We have provided a web-based interface to predict the individual probability of macrosomia.
Conclusion: We have developed a nomogram to predict the individual probability of macrosomia based on clinical and ultrasound findings. Our web-based interface should help to guide patients and physicians in decision-making.

Background: Rhabdomyolysis (RM) frequently gives rise to diverse complications, ultimately leading to an unfavorable prognosis for patients. Consequently, there is a pressing need for early prediction of survival rates among RM patients, yet reliable and effective predictive models are currently scarce.
Methods: All data utilized in this study were sourced from the MIMIC-IV database.

Background: Most patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) still have frequent recurrence after urethral bladder tumor electrodesiccation supplemented with intravesical instillation therapy, and their risk of recurrence is difficult to predict. Risk prediction models used to predict postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC have limitations, such as a limited number of included cases and a lack of validation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new models to compensate for the shortcomings and potentially provide evidence for predicting postoperative recurrence in NMIBC patients.

Background: Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). This study aimed to develop a prediction model based on the TIMI risk score for MACE in STEMI patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective data analysis on 290 acute STEMI patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from January 2022 to June 2023 and met the inclusion criteria.

Objective: To explore the risk factors associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and to construct a nomogram predictive model.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of 193 patients who received OPCABG in Huai'an First People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2021 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the established diagnosis of POAF, patients were divided into the POAF group (n=75) and the non-POAF group (n=118).

Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between the tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) and peritoneal metastasis (PM) in gastric cancer (GC) and constructs a diagnostic model based on preoperative examination data.
Methods: To determine the feasibility of obtaining TSR in GC patients through preoperative examinations, the consistency of TSR between endoscopic biopsy tissues and postoperative histopathological tissues was evaluated. Additionally, the correlation between TSR and PM in GC was analyzed using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets.
