Development and validation of a nomogram model to predict postoperative delirium after resection of esophageal cancer.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to establish and validate a nomogram model to predict postoperative delirium (POD) among esophageal cancer resection patients. Clinical data of 396 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy from November 2020 to June 2023 in the electronic medical records of cardiothoracic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. Participants were randomly divided into training and testing sets in a 7:3 ratio. Predictors were screened by Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis and a nomogram model was built. The discrimination and consistency of the model were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), C-statistic, Brier score, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, calibration curve and
