Development and Validation of a Predictive Model for Individual Risk Prediction of Stunting in Ethiopia: A Predictive Modeling Study
This study developed and internally validated a predictive model for stunting in children under 2 years in Ethiopia, with strong discriminatory power (AUC 0.729) and calibration. The model, incorporating eight key predictors, offers a practical tool for clinical decision-making through a user-friendly nomogram.
