Logistic regression was used to identify the key predictors of PPCs, and a nomogram was constructed. The predictive efficacy of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves, and the clinical application value was evaluated using decision curve analysis (DCA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPC incidence was 26.73%.
