Analysis of risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting in non-small cell lung cancer patients based on LASSO regression
Objective To construct a predictive nomogram for postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients based on least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression and validate its predictive effect.Methods Retrospective clinical data of a-dult NSCLC patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zheng-zhou University from April 2021 to February 2022 were collected.A total of 738 eligible patients were se-lected and divided into a training cohort(n=517)and a validation cohort(n=221)in a 7∶3 ratio using a random number table method.After performing LASSO regression analysis on the training cohort,inde-pendent risk factors for PONV were identified,and a nomogram model was established.The predictive effi-ciency,accuracy,and clinical utility of the model were evaluated using the area under the receiver operat-ing characteristic curve(AUC),calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results LASSO regression identified three independent risk factors for PONV in NSCLC patients:gender,weight,and monocyte count.A nomogram predicting PONV risk was constructed,with AUCs of 0.687[95%confi-dence interval(CI):0.641-0.714]for the training set and 0.683(95%CI:0.656-0.725)for the inter-nal validation set.The calibration plot showed good consistency between predicted and observed values.DCA results indicated maximum clinical benefit when the threshold probability ranged from 8%to 25%.Conclusion This study constructed and validated the predictive efficacy and clinical utility of a PONV no-mogram for NSCLC patients.The predictive model provides a reliable basis for the prevention and treatment of PONV in NSCLC patients.
