Establishment and validation of a predictive nomogram for central venous catheter-related thrombosis in cancer patients: a retrospective nested case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a common complication for patients who receive central venous catheter (CVC) placement. This study investigated the risk factors for CRT and developed a nomogram for CRT prediction among cancer patients.

Methods

This nested case-control study was conducted in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between January 2019 and February 2021. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors for CRT. A nomogram was developed to predict CRT. Receiver operating curves (ROC), calibration curves, and decision curves were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram in the training and validation sets.

Results

A total of 4,691 cancer patients were included in
