Core Tip

Core Tip: This multicenter retrospective study developed and validated a six-factor risk prediction model for unplanned nasobiliary tube extubation after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography plus endoscopic nasobiliary drainage. Independent predictors included age ≥ 61 years, smoking history, prolonged fasting, catheter duration, consciousness change, and low serum albumin. The nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination (area under the curve = 0.881) and clinical utility. A total score ≥ 199 indicated high risk. This tool enables early identification of patients at high risk and supports targeted nursing interventions to reduce complications, hospitalization time, and healthcare costs.
