• Ventricular septal defect is a common congenital heart disease. As the disease progresses, the likelihood of lung infection and heart failure increases, leading to prolonged hospital stays and an increased likelihood of complications such as nosocomial infections. We aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting hospital stays over 14 days in pediatric patients with ventricular septal defect and to evaluate the predictive power of the nomogram. We hope that nomogram can provide clinicians with more information to identify high-risk groups as soon as possible and give early treatment to reduce hospital stay and complications. The population of this study was pediatric patients with ventricular septal defect, and data were obtained from the Pediatric Intensive Care Database. The resulting event was a hospital stay longer than 14 days. Variables with a variance inflation factor (VIF) greater than 5 were excluded. Variables were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), and the selected variables were incorporated into logistic regression to construct a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) and calibration curve. Finally, the importance of variables in the model is calculated based on the XGboost method. A total of 705 patients with ventricular septal defect were included in the study. After screening with VIF and Lasso, the variables finally included in the statistical analysis include: Brain Natriuretic Peptide, bicarbonate, fibrinogen, urea, alanine aminotransferase, blood oxygen saturation, systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate. The AUC values of nomogram in the training cohort and validation cohort were 0.812 and 0.736, respectively. The results of the calibration curve and DCA also indicated that the nomogram had good performance and good clinical application value. The nomogram established by BNP, bicarbonate, fibrinogen, urea, alanine aminotransferase, blood oxygen saturation, systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate has good predictive performance and clinical applicability. The nomogram can effectively identify specific populations at risk for adverse outcomes.
