Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Surgical outcomes
  • Predictive modeling

Background:

  • Sternal incision problems (SIPs) following thoracotomy have high incidence and mortality rates.
  • Effective preventive measures for SIPs are currently lacking.
  • Median sternotomy is a common surgical approach with associated risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a predictive model for sternal incision problems (SIPs) after median thoracotomy.
  • To identify independent risk factors associated with postoperative SIPs.
  • To assess the clinical utility and accuracy of the developed prediction model.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 15,426 patient cases undergoing median sternotomy.
  • Development of a prediction model for SIPs using R software.
  • Validation of the model using bootstrap methods and statistical tests (e.g., Hosmer-Lemeshow, ROC curve analysis).

Main Results:

  • The incidence rate of SIPs was 2% (309 cases).
  • Independent risk factors identified: Body Mass Index (BMI), Intensive Care Unit (ICU) time, diabetes mellitus, and revision for bleeding.
  • The nomogram model demonstrated good discrimination (73.9%) and accuracy (70.2%), with an Area Under the Curve of 0.705.

Conclusions:

  • A nomogram incorporating BMI, ICU time, diabetes mellitus, and revision for bleeding effectively predicts individual risk of SIPs after median sternotomy.
  • The model shows good predictive accuracy and clinical applicability.
  • This tool can guide high-risk population screening and intervention strategy development.
