Clinical application of the nomogram for predicting early intracranial hypertension (IH) in post-decompressive craniectomy (post-DC) patients (15 mmHg threshold). (1) Variable names on the left (‘ONSD, MCAPI, and DLR’) correspond to scales on horizontal lines, indicating the range of values each variable can take. The length of each line reflects its relative contribution to the risk of IH (defined as ICP ≥ 15 mmHg). (2) ‘Points’ refers to the score assigned to each variable based on its value; ‘Total Points’ is the sum of all individual scores. (3) Predicted Probability (labeled as ‘Risk’) shows the estimated probability of IH based on the total score. ONSD, optic nerve sheath diameter; MCAPI, pulsatility index of the middle cerebral artery; DLR, deep learning radiomics; IH, intracranial hypertension; DC, decompressive craniectomy.
