Background: Early postoperative cerebral infarction (ePCI) significantly worsens outcomes in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) undergoing surgery. This study aimed to develop and externally validate a nomogram to assess ePCI risk.
Methods: Adult patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH who underwent surgery between May 2015 and September 2022 at a large tertiary referral center (development cohort) and another tertiary referral center (external validation cohort) were retrospectively included. ePCI was defined as a newly identified permanent low-density lesion observed within 72 h of surgery on computed tomography. We developed a nomogram using predictors identified through least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis. The model's discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility were evaluated.
Results: The development cohort (n = 453) had 51 ePCI cases, and the external validation cohort (n = 184) had 20. The model incorporated the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), the Original Intracerebral Hemorrhage Scale (oICH), uncal herniation stage, and hematoma volume, demonstrating strong discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.915 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.882-0.948) in the development cohort and an AUC of 0.942 (95% CI 0.897-0.988) in the external independent cohort. The model also showed excellent calibration and clinical applicability.
Conclusions: This nomogram, including the GCS, the oICH, uncal herniation stage, and hematoma volume, effectively predicts ePCI risk in patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH.

Purpose: Accurate prediction of human clearance (CL) is essential in early drug development. Single Species Scaling (SSS) using rat pharmacokinetic (PK) data, particularly with unbound plasma fraction (f), is widely used. However, its accuracy declines for compounds with extremely low f, and no systematic method has addressed this limitation.

This study aimed to develop a predictive model and construct a graded nomogram to estimate the risk of severe acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients without preexisting kidney dysfunction undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Patients undergoing LT between January 2022 and June 2023 were prospectively screened. Severe AKI was defined as Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes stage 3.

Background: New-onset atrial fibrillation, a condition associated with adverse outcomes in the short and long term, is common in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). Identifying patients at high risk could inform trials of preventive interventions and help to target such interventions. We aimed to develop and externally validate a prediction model for new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients admitted to ICUs.

Objective: To externally validate the Paediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) rule for identifying febrile infants aged <60 days at low risk of serious bacterial infections (SBIs) and assess the utility of the rule with C reactive protein (CRP) instead of procalcitonin (PCT).
Methods: Secondary analysis of data from the Management and Outcomes of Fever in Children in Europe (MOFICHE) study (12 paediatric emergency departments in eight European countries, January 2017 to April 2018) and a Swedish study (four paediatric emergency departments, January 2014 to December 2020). Previously healthy febrile infants aged ≤60 days were included.

Environmental phenols are widely used in consumer products and are of increasing concern due to their potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Physiologically based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models offer a powerful tool for estimating human exposure by translating biomonitoring data into external intake values. However, conventional PBTK models are typically chemical-specific and resource-intensive.
