A newly developed nomogram model demonstrates effective identification of gangrenous or perforated appendicitis in adults, crucial for timely intervention. Analyzing 796 appendectomy patients, researchers identified seven independent predictors. The model exhibited robust discrimination and calibration: an AUC of 0.806 in the training set and 0.799 in the testing set, alongside varying sensitivity and specificity rates. Validation confirmed its utility, suggesting improved outcomes and informed surgical decisions for at-risk patients.
