  Objective: The objective of this study was to create and authenticate a user-friendly nomogram for assessing the risk of Bloodstream Infections (BSI) in patients with gallstones. Materials and methods: Data on 261 patients without BSI and 96 patients with BSI who had gallstones were gathered between January 2019 and April 2023. The ten variables—age, sex, White Blood Cell (WBC), Neutrophil (NE%), calcitonin (PCT), γ-Glutamyltransferase (GGT), Total Bilirubin (TBIL), Direct Bilirubin (DBIL), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST)—were first screened using the single-factor regression analysis. Multiple regression analyses were used to optimize the risk model's predictive features. The prediction model's discrimination, calibration, and clinical application performance were evaluated u..
