    A nomogram was developed to diagnose tuberculous peritoneal effusion (TPE) using data from 351 patients.

  • 2

    Independent predictors for TPE included age, fever, ascites ADA, CEA, total protein, serum CEA, and serum creatinine.

  • 3

    The nomogram achieved an AUC of 0.974 in the training group and 0.955 in the validation group, indicating high diagnostic performance.

  • 4

    Calibration curves showed good agreement, and decision curve analysis indicated the model's net benefit in both cohorts.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the importance of early differentiation between TPE and non-TPE for effective diagnosis and treatment.
