Participants were classified into DVT and negative-DVT groups within the first week post-surgery. We used univariate logistic regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses to assess the impact of various clinical variables on DVT. A nomogram model was constructed to forecast the occurrence of early DVT following SICH surgery. The model’s performance was assessed and validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and bootstrap resampling.Results: Among the 96 participants, 46 developed DVT. Significant differences were noted in age, D-dimer levels, fibrinogen degradation products, Caprini scores, and total surgical bleeding volume between the groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that Caprini score (the values of OR, 95% CI, and P are 1.962, 1.124– 3.424, and 0.018, respectively) and total surgical bleeding volume (the values of OR, 95% CI, and P are 1.010, 1.002– 1.018, and 0.017, respectively) were risk variables contributing to DVT occurrence. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.918 (95% CI, 0.821– 0.988). The calibration curve showed good prediction accuracy.Conclusion: The Caprini score and total surgical bleeding volume are meaningful self-reliant risk variables contributing to DVT occurrence in postoperative participants with SICH. We have created a straightforward and efficient model to predict early DVT post-SICH surgery. This model serves as a valuable clinical tool for evaluating individual risk and enhancing decision-making processes.Keywords: spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, perioperative postoperative period, lower extremities deep vein thrombosis, caprini score, total surgical bleeding volume
