Risk factors and predictive nomogram for postoperative intestinal fistula complicated by pulmonary infection in patients with acute intestinal obstruction.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this research is to investigate risk factors for postoperative intestinal fistula combined with pulmonary infection in patients with acute intestinal obstruction and the construction of a predictive model.
methodsTwo hundred twenty-seven patients with acute intestinal obstruction admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2024 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether postoperative intestinal fistula complicated with pulmonary infection occurred: the intestinal fistula complicated with pulmonary infection group (78 cases) and the control group (149 cases). Clinical data of patients were collected and peripheral blood levels of NLR and SAA were measured. Logistic regression analysis was employed to investigate the risk factors for postoperative intestinal fistula complicated with pulmonary infection in patients with acute intestinal obstruction. A nomogram model was established to predict the occurrence of postoperative intestinal fistula complicated with pulmonary infection in patients with acute intestinal obstruction. The goodness of fit of the predictive model was evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) chi-square test. The predictive value of the model was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves.
resultsThere were no statistical differences in age, gender ratio, intraoperative blood loss, operation duration, comorbidities, and smoking history between the two groups (all P>0.05); The postoperative hospitalization duration, BMI index, NLR and SAA levels in the intestinal fistula with pulmonary infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis indicated that BMI, NLR and SAA levels were independent factors for postoperative complications of intestinal fistula with pulmonary infection after acute intestinal obstruction surgery (all P < 0.05). The nomogram prediction model constructed based on the three factors showed acceptable calibration and moderate-to-high discriminative ability with AUC of 0.912, sensitivity and specificity of 0.890 and 0.897, respectively. After internal validation, the value of AUC was 0.853, with sensitivity and specificity being 0.872 and 0.864, respectively.
conclusionBMI, NLR, and SAA are independent risk factors for postoperative intestinal fistula complicated with pulmonary infection in patients with acute intestinal obstruction. The predictive model constructed showed potentially useful predictive performance in this cohort for postoperative intestinal fistula complicated with pulmonary infection in such patients.
