Patients with IAH at admission were excluded. A standardized questionnaire captured demographic, clinical, and laboratory data. Cox proportional hazards regression identified independent predictors of IAH within 1\u20136\u202fdays post-ICU admission. A nomogram was constructed and internally validated using Bootstrap resampling (1,000 iterations). Model performance was assessed by the concordance index (C-index), area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intra-abdominal hypertension occurred in 198 patients (75.9%), with a median onset of 12\u202fh (range: 12\u201372\u202fh). Multivariable Cox analysis revealed six independent risk factors: pre-ICU surgery (HR\u202f=\u202f1.524, 95%CI: 1.075\u20132.161), abdominal distension (HR\u202f=\u202f2.082, 95%CI: 1.505\u20132.881), increased intra-abdominal contents (HR\u202f=\u202f1.857, 95%CI: 1.343\u20132.567), intraperitoneal fluid accumulation (HR\u202f=\u202f1.500, 95%CI: 1.074\u20132.095), shock (HR\u202f=\u202f1.806, 95%CI: 1.218\u20132.677), and APACHE II score (HR\u202f=\u202f1.047 per point, 95%CI: 1.016\u20131.078). The nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination (C-index: 0.826; bootstrap-corrected: 0.826) and calibration. Time-dependent AUC at 12\u202fh, 24\u202fh, and 36\u202fh were 0.836 (95% CI: 0.787\u20130.884), 0.932 (95% CI: 0.900\u20130.964), and 0.913 (95% CI: 0.877\u20130.950), respectively.
