Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating complication of herpes zoster (HZ), causing significant patient suffering and economic burden.
  • Current PHN risk assessment relies on subjective clinical features, lacking objective quantitative tools for early identification.
  • Timely identification of high-risk patients is crucial for initiating preventive interventions against PHN.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an efficient, objective, and clinically accessible prediction model for PHN risk.
  • To integrate routine clinical and laboratory indicators for enhanced PHN risk prediction.
  • To provide a practical tool for early PHN risk stratification in acute herpes zoster patients.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, multicenter study enrolling 722 patients with acute HZ.
  • Collection of clinical data and centralized laboratory testing for multiple indicators.
  • Univariate/multivariate logistic regression and machine learning algorithms to identify predictors and build a predictive model, validated on an independent test set.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of PHN was 18.84% in the study cohort.
  • Seven independent predictors for PHN were identified: age, disease duration, prodromal pain, VZV-IgM, RDW-CV, urea, and serum sodium.
  • The logistic regression model achieved an AUC of 0.733 and accuracy of 0.765, demonstrating good predictive performance.

Conclusions:

  • This study reports the first PHN incidence data for HZ patients in Quanzhou.
  • A validated logistic regression model integrating clinical and laboratory data accurately predicts PHN risk.
  • The developed model serves as a practical clinical tool for early PHN risk identification and guiding preventive strategies.
