Construction and validation of a risk prediction model for perianal infection in patients with haematological malignancies during chemotherapy: a prospective study in a tertiary hospital in China.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Perianal infection is a serious complication in patients undergoing chemotherapy for haematological malignancies. Therefore, we aimed to develop a predictive model to help medical staff promptly screen patients at a high risk of perianal infection during chemotherapy.

Design

This was a single-centre prospective observational study.

Setting

This study was conducted in a tertiary teaching hospital in Chengdu, China.

Participants

The study sample comprised 850 patients with haematological malignancies who underwent chemotherapy at the department of haematology or our hospital between January 2021 and June 2022.

Interventions

The included patients were randomly divided into training and validation groups in a 7:3 ratio. Based on the discharge diag
