The discriminative ability and calibration of the MM-BM DDx model were found to be preserved during external validation. These findings provide support for the practical use of the MM-BM DDx model to assist clinicians in identifying patients with destructive bone lesions who are likely to have MM and enable them to arrange timely referrals for further evaluation by hematologists.
