PurposeThis study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cellular analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in distinguishing between pulmonary infectious and non-infectious diseases in patients with pulmonary shadows. Additionally, it will develop and validate a novel scoring system based on a nomogram for the purpose of differential diagnosis.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted involving data from 222 patients with pulmonary shadows, whose etiological factors were determined at our institution. The cohort was randomly allocated into a training set comprising 155 patients and a validation set of 67 patients, (ratio of 7:3), the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was applied to optimize feature selection for the model. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to construct a predictive model. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve were utilized to assess the prediction accuracy of the model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve (CIC) were employed to evaluate the clinical applicability of the model. Moreover, model comparison was set to evaluate the discrimination and clinical usefulness between the nomogram and the risk factors.ResultsAmong the relevant predictors, the percentage of neutrophils in BALF (BALF NP) exhibited the most substantial differentiation, as evidenced by the largest area under the ROC curve (AUC = 0.783, 95% CI: 0.713–0.854). A BALF NP threshold of ≥16% yielded a sensitivity of 72%, specificity of 70%, a positive likelihood ratio of 2.07, and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.38. LASSO and multivariate regression analyses indicated that BALF NP (p |
