Core Tip This study evaluated widely accessible complete blood count markers in a large pediatric fistula-in-ano cohort and reported promising discrimination and decision-making ability. We highlight design and analytic refinements, clinical control selection, rigorous age handling, transparent model calibration, and validated decision curve analyses, that can convert these encouraging signals into robust, generalizable evidence.
