Ki\u201067 expression reflects active tumor cell proliferation and is associated with aggressive tumor behavior. A preoperative, noninvasive method to predict Ki\u201067 status would therefore be valuable for clinical decision\u2010making. Dual\u2010energy CT (DECT) can provide quantitative parameters related to tumor vascularity and composition, potentially reflecting proliferative activity. Additionally, clinical biomarkers such as CA125 may offer complementary information regarding tumor biology. Therefore, the development of a reliable noninvasive approach to preoperatively determine Ki\u201067 status is of considerable clinical importance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To develop and validate a noninvasive approach for predicting Ki\u201067 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by integrating quantitative dual\u2010energy CT parameters and clinical biomarkers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This retrospective study included 148 PDAC patients randomly divided into training (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a089) and validation (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a059) sets (6:4 ratio).

Serum tumor markers (CA19\u20109, CA125, CA50, CEA) and clinical features were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of Ki\u201067 expression. A nomogram and 3\u2010D probability surface were developed to intuitively demonstrate the model's predictive structure and decision\u2010making process. Model performance was validated using ROC analysis, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. Innovatively, kernel\u2010density ridgeline plots and prediction\u2010error bar plots were employed to comprehensively evaluate risk distribution and prediction accuracy, demonstrating the model's stability.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The joint model demonstrated excellent predictive performance, achieving AUCs of 0.803 in the training set and 0.810 in the validation set, outperforming both the clinical\u2010only model (training AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.682, validation AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.751) and the DECT\u2010only model (training AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.712, validation AUC\u00a0=\u00a00.702).
