Patients were divided into two groups based on postoperative hospital stay duration: the normal group (PLOS\u2009&amp;lt;\u20096 days) and the prolonged group (PLOS\u2009&amp;gt;\u20096 days). LASSO regression was used to screen variables, multivariate logistic regression was applied to establish the model and then a nomogram was developed. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were adopted to evaluate the performance and clinical applicability of the model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study included a total of 413 patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher body mass index (BMI), longer operation time, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (ASA)\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009II, postoperative extra opioid use, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), postoperative blood transfusion, lower preoperative albumin (ALB) levels, and no prior contralateral THA history were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing primary DAA-THA (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The AUC of the established predictive model was 0.766, indicating good predictive performance. The calibration curve demonstrated good consistency between actual delayed discharge rates and predicted probabilities. DCA showed that the model provided maximum net benefit when the threshold probability ranged from 2% to 85%.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>BMI, operation time, ASA classification, postoperative extra opioid use, PONV, postoperative transfusion, preoperative ALB, and previous contralateral THA history can be used as predictive factors. The LASSO regression-based model for predicting prolonged hospital stay after primary DAA-THA demonstrates accurate predictive performance and strong clinical utility. It can assist clinicians in stratifying patient risk effectively, thereby supporting enhanced recovery protocols.<\/jats:p>\n
