Enhancing mortality prediction in AIDS and disseminated <i>Talaromyces marneffei</i>: the impact of novel inflammatory markers in a nomogram.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. Talaromyces marneffei (TM) is a common opportunistic infection among patients with AIDS, characterized by rapid systemic dissemination and a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of death is critical to improving clinical outcomes.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Despite the severity of disseminated TM infection (DPSM), few predictive tools exist to assess mortality risk in affected AIDS patients. A clinical prediction model incorporating novel inflammatory markers may help guide timely intervention.Aim. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for mortality in AIDS patients with DPSM and to develop and validate a nomogram for individualized risk prediction.Methodology. A retrospective study was conducted on 174
