Abstract: Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, carries a high mortality rate, particularly in acute severe cases. This study aimed to develop a practical prediction model for in-hospital mortality using routinely available clinical data. We retrospectively analyzed 283 melioidosis patients from Hainan General Hospital (2010–2024). Compared to survivors, non-survivors had significantly higher neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein (CRP), and urea nitrogen levels, and lower platelet counts (PLT) (all P
