Currently, there is limited research on the application of machine learning in analyzing PWH after spinal surgery. Thus, our primary aim is to using machine learning identify these risk factors and construct a clinical risk prediction model.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 2516 patients who underwent posterior lumbar spinal fusion at Guangxi Medical University’s Second Affiliated Hospital between August 2021 and August 2023. The data was divided into test and validation groups in a 7:3 ratio. In the test group, logistic regression analysis, support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), XGboost, Naïve Bayes (NB), k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) were used to identify specific variables. The top six models from the eight machine learning models with the highest area under curve (AUC) values were selected and used to construct a dynamic nomograms model. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves. The model’s internal performance was then verified in the validation group using ROC and calibration curves.Results: Data from 2516 patients were collected, with 411 eligible cases selected. By combining logistic regression analysis with six machine learning algorithms, this study identified six predictors associated with PWH: subcutaneous lumbar spine index(SLSI), albumin, postoperative glucose, cerebrospinal fluid leakage(CSFL), neutrophil (NEU), and C-reactive protein(CRP). These predictors were used to develop a prediction model, visually represented through a nomogram. The AUC value in the test group was 0.981, and the C-index of the model was 0.986 (95% CI 0.966– 0.995), indicating excellent predictive capability. Calibration curve analysis showed good consistency between nomogram-predicted values and actual measurements.Conclusion: SLSI, albumin, postoperative glucose, CSFL, NEU and CRP were identified as significant risk factors for PWH after posterior lumbar spinal fusion. The developed prediction model exhibited excellent predictive accuracy and usefulness.Keywords: poor wound healing, posterior lumbar spinal fusion, machine learning, dynamic prediction model |
