Risk factor analysis and development of a nomogram prediction model for Plasma Cell Mastitis
Nipple retraction, recent trauma history, and the number of pregnancies were identified as independent risk factors for PCM. Targeted education for high-risk groups, particularly women within 3 years postpartum/post-abortion, improves disease prevention. The nomogram model had a C-index of 0.809, indicating strong discriminatory power and high prediction accuracy.
