Development of a scoring system based on a nomogram to identify malignant pleural effusion

To further improve the cost-effectiveness and applicability, we developed a simple scoring system involving six easily accessible clinical variables, which exhibited good diagnostic performance and clinical applicability for identifying MPE.
