Popis: Background: Delayed hemothorax (dHTX) can occur unexpectedly, even in patients who initially present without signs of hemothorax (HTX), potentially leading to death. We aimed to develop a predictive model for dHTX requiring intervention, specifically targeting those with no or occult HTX. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a level 1 trauma center. The primary outcome was the occurrence of dHTX requiring intervention in patients who had no HTX or occult HTX and did not undergo closed thoracostomy post-injury. To minimize overfitting, we employed the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model for feature selection. Thereafter, we developed a multivariable logistic regression (MLR) model and a nomogram. Results: In total, 688 patients were included in the study, with 64 cases of dHTX (9.3%). The LASSO and MLR analyses revealed that the depth of HTX (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.10–6.85; p
