Analysis of Risk Factors for Lower Extremity Lymphedema after Cervical Cancer Surgery and Construction of a Prediction Model
Objective To construct a risk prediction model of lower limb lymphedema(LLL)after cervical cancer surgery and validate its prediction performance,so as to provide a basis for healthcare workers to recognize the risk of LLL at an early stage.Methods A selection of 759 postoperative cervical cancer pa-tients in a hospital from 2010 to 2020 were retrospectively selected as the study subjects,and the risk fac-tors were screened by unifactorial and multifactorial logistic regression analyses,and Bayes discriminant analysis and nomogram models were established;the predictive ability of the model was assessed by the re-ceiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)of the subjects and the area undercurve(AUC),and the predic-tive value of the model was assessed by the sensitivity and the specificity.Results The AUC for the Bayes discriminant analysis and the nomogram model was 91.30%and 95.00%,the sensitivity was 83.05%and 87.60%,and the specificity was 85.02%and 90.01%.Conclusions The constructed column-line graph mod-el for predicting the risk of LLL after cervical cancer surgery has good predictive performance and can pro-vide a reference for the clinical identification of high-risk patients.
