Predicting early biliary infection after stenting of malignant biliary obstruction: model development and internal validation

ConclusionThe nomogram model based on the above independent risk factors can predict the probability of EBI and model-assisted treatment decisions contribute to improved clinical outcome. Therefore, MBO patients with probability of EBI  >  0.20 based on the model should be recommended for perioperative broad-spectrum antibiotics and close monitoring.
