Variables were screened via univariate logistic regression followed by LASSO regression. A multivariate logistic regression model was constructed using seven selected predictors, including age, family history of cancer, endometrial thickness, menstrual blood loss, abnormal menstrual duration, intermenstrual bleeding, and postmenopausal bleeding. Internal validation was performed using bootstrap resampling; external validation was conducted using an independent cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The final model demonstrated good discriminatory performance (AUC = 0.814 in the training cohort, 0.762 in external validation). Calibration plots and the Hosmer\u2013Lemeshow test indicated good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities. Decision curve analysis confirmed favorable clinical utility. Patients classified as high-risk (score \u226570.362) had a significantly increased likelihood of AEH\/EC (OR = 12.46, 95% CI: 7.56\u201321.01, P &amp;lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study presents a validated, user-friendly nomogram integrating refined AUB patterns and clinical variables to support early risk stratification for AEH\/EC in women aged 40\u201360 years.
