A nomogram for neurosurgical intervention in children with mild traumatic brain injury and minor subdural hematoma under 3 years.

ABSTRACT: Infants and toddlers with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and minor subdural hematoma (SDH) were found to have a higher risk of requiring neurosurgical intervention (NI). However, the ability to identify patients with mTBI and minor SDH who require NI remains limited. This study aims to develop a nomogram to predict NI in these patients. A nomogram predicting NI was established using demographic, clinical, radiographic, and laboratory data from patients with mTBI and minor SDH. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and best subsets regression (BSR) methods were employed to identify variables and select predictive factors. A nomogram was constructed using multivariable logistic regression. The model's performance was evaluated using the area under the rec
