Background: Hymenopteran stings (Apidae/Vespidae) represent critical emergencies frequently encountered during summer and autumn seasons. These incidents can trigger localized inflammatory responses and severe systemic complications-including anaphylactic shock, acute organ injury, and multi-organ dysfunction-potentially leading to death, especially in resource-limited areas. While honeybee and wasp venom components (melittin/hyaluronidase vs kinins/phospholipase) and effects differ, potentially causing distinct complications, this study develops a universal early risk prediction tool without differentiating bee species. Based on clinical and simple lab indicators, it aims to help frontline providers optimize high-risk patient identification and intervention, reducing mortality and healthcare burden. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1124 hymenoptera sting patients from Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital (2014-2023). After screening, 607 eligible patients were randomly divided into training (n=455) and validation (n=152) cohorts (3:1 ratio). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified severe complication independent risk factors, enabling nomogram development. Its discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility were assessed using ROC curves, calibration plots, and DCA in both cohorts. Results: Severe complications occurred in 33 patients (5.44%): anaphylactic shock (9, 1.48%), acute kidney injury (4, 0.66%), acute myocardial injury ...
