Predictive Model Development for Postoperative Complications in Trigeminal Neuralgia Patients Undergoing Percutaneous...

Area of Science:

• Neurosurgery
• Pain Management
• Medical Statistics

Background:

• Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients undergoing percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) face risks of postoperative complications.
• Identifying influencing factors and preventive strategies is crucial for managing these complications.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze risk factors associated with postoperative complications in TN patients after PBC.
• To develop a predictive model for these complications.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of 164 TN patients who underwent PBC.
• Utilized LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression to identify risk factors.
• Developed a predictive model for postoperative complications.

Main Results:

• Nerve branches, hypertension, compression duration, and CD4+ levels showed significant differences between complication and non-complication groups.
• Independent risk factors identified: nerve branches, diabetes, compression duration, and CD4+ levels.
• The predictive model demonstrated good discriminatory power (AUC=0.793) and calibration.

Conclusions:

• A predictive model for postoperative complications in TN patients undergoing PBC was established.
• This model provides a framework for preoperative risk assessment.
• Enables tailored preventive interventions for improved patient care.
