Popis: Objective. This research aimed to establish a nomogram for predicting early death in viral myocarditis (VMC) patients. Method. A total of 362 consecutive VMC patients in Fujian Medical University Affiliated First Quanzhou Hospital between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019, were included. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to detect the risk factors that most consistently and correctly predicted early death in VMC. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by calibration, discrimination, and clinical utility. Result. 9 factors were screened by LASSO regression analysis for predicting the early death of VMC. Combined with the actual clinical situation, the heart failure (HF) (OR: 2.13, 95% CI: 2.76–5.95), electrocardiogram (ECG) (OR: 6.11, 95% CI: 1.05–8.66), pneumonia (OR: 3.62, 95% CI: 1.43–9.85), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (OR: 4.66, 95% CI: 3.07–24.06), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 0.19–9.39) were finally used to construct the nomogram. The nomogram’s C-index was 0.908 in the training cohort and 0.924 in the validation cohort. And the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.91 in the training cohort and 0.924 in the validating cohort. Decision curve analysis (DCA) also showed that the nomogram was clinically useful. Conclusion. This nomogram achieved an good prediction of the risk of early death in VMC patients.
