To evaluate the risk of rupture in unruptured anterior choroidal artery aneurysms, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of risk factors and subsequently developed two nomograms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 120 cases of anterior choroidal artery aneurysms (66 unruptured and 54 ruptured) from 4 medical institutions were assessed utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The training set, consisting of 98 aneurysms from 3 hospitals, was established, with an additional 22 cases from the fourth hospital forming the external validation set. Statistical differences between the two data sets were thoroughly compared. The significance of 9 clinical baseline characteristics, 11 aneurysm morphology parameters, and 4 hemodynamic parameters concerning aneurysm rupture was evaluated within the training set. Candidate selection for constructing the nomogram models involved regression analysis and variance inflation factors. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility of the models in both training and validation sets were assessed using area under curves (AUC), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The DeLong test, net reclassification index (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were employed to compare the effectiveness of classification across models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two nomogram models were ultimately constructed: model 1, incorporating clinical, morphological, and hemodynamic parameters (C\u2009+\u2009M\u2009+\u2009H), and model 2, relying primarily on clinical and morphological parameters (C\u2009+\u2009M). Multivariate analysis identified smoking, size ratio (SR), normalized wall shear stress (NWSS), and average oscillatory shear index (OSI<jats:sub>ave<\/jats:sub>) as optimal candidates for model development. In the training set, model 1 (C\u2009+\u2009M\u2009+\u2009H) achieved an AUC of 0.795 (95% CI: 0.706\u2009~\u20090.884), demonstrating a sensitivity of 95.6% and a specificity of 54.7%. Model 2 (C\u2009+\u2009M) had an AUC of 0.706 (95% CI: 0.604\u2009~\u20090.808), with corresponding sensitivity and specificity of 82.4 and 50.3%, respectively. Similarly, AUCs for models 1 and 2 in the external validation set were calculated to be 0.709 and 0.674, respectively. Calibration plots illustrated a consistent correlation between model evaluations and real-world observations in both sets. DCA demonstrated that the model incorporating hemodynamic parameters offered higher clinical benefits. In the training set, NRI (0.224, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007), IDI (0.585, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002), and DeLong test (change\u2009=\u20090.089, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.008) were all significant. In the external validation set, NRI, IDI, and DeLong test statistics were 0.624 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.063), 0.572 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.044), and 0.035 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.047), respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Multidimensional nomograms have the potential to enhance risk assessment and patient-specific treatment of anterior choroidal artery aneurysms.
