However, there are few optimal models of delirium in critically ill older patients. This study aimed to propose and verify a nomogram for predicting the incidence of delirium in elderly patients admitted to ICU.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We performed a retrospective study using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. It included data on 13,175 older patients in total. The patients were randomly divided into a training group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u202f9,223) and an internal verification group (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f3,452). Risk factors were screened using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. We successfully constructed a multivariate logistic regression model along with a nomogram. We conducted internal verification using 1,000 bootstrap specimens. Performance assessment was conducted using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The risk factors included in the nomogram were sepsis, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, cerebrovascular disease, mechanical ventilation, sedation, severe hypothermia, and serum calcium levels. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the nomogram, incorporating the above-mentioned predictors for the training set was 0.762 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.749\u20130.776), whereas that for the verification set was 0.756 (95% CI 0.736\u20130.776). Based on the calibration curve, the model forecast outcomes matched well with the actual results, and the nomogram\u2019s Brier score was 0.12 in the training set and 0.128 in the verification set.
