This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and to establish an effective diagnostic nomogram for HAPE in habitual low altitude dwellers.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 1,255 individuals of Han Chinese were included in the study on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at altitudes exceeding 3,000 m. LASSO algorithms were utilized to identify significant predictors based on Akaike\u2019s information criterion (AIC), and a diagnostic nomogram was developed through multivariable logistic regression analysis. Internal validation was conducted through bootstrap resampling. Model performance was evaluated using ROC curves and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The nomogram included eleven predictive factors and demonstrated high discrimination with an AUC of 0.787 (95% CI [0.757\u20130.817]) and 0.833 (95% CI [0.793\u20130.874]) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Calibration curves were assessed in both the training (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.793) and validation datasets (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.629). Confusion matrices revealed accuracies of 70.95% and 74.17% for the training and validation groups. Furthermore, decision curve analysis supported the use of the nomogram for patients with HAPE.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We propose clinical features and column charts based on hematological parameters and demographic variables, which can be conveniently used for the diagnosis of HAPE. In high-altitude areas with limited emergency environments, a diagnostic model can provide fast and reliable diagnostic support for medical staff, helping them make better treatment
