Multivariable logistic regression identified independent SAP risk factors, and a nomogram was developed.

The independent risk factors included advanced age, atrial fibrillation, higher score on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), nasogastric tube insertion, mechanical ventilation, and elevated monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR). Higher albumin levels were protective. The nomogram showed good discrimination (area under the curve [AUC]= 0.816; 95%CI: 0.765\u20130.871), satisfactory calibration, and favorable clinical usefulness, as demonstrated by the DCA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We developed a nomogram to predict SAP risk in AIS patients.
