Abstract

BACKGROUND: Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-related Pneumonitis (CIP) exhibits high morbidity and mortality rates in the real world, often coexisting with pneumonia, particularly after immunochemotherapy. We aimed to develop and validate a non-invasive nomogram for differentiating CIP from pneumonia in patients undergoing immunochemotherapy.
