Development and validation of a simple-to-use nomogram for predicting severe scrub typhus in children
This study developed and validated a simple-to-use nomogram for predicting severe ST in children based on six predictors including Hb, PLT, LDH, BUN, CK-MB and hypoproteinemia, demonstrating excellent predictive accuracy for the data, though external and prospective validation is required to assess its potential clinical utility.
