A Nomogram Model Integrating Inflammation Markers for Predicting the Risk of Recurrent Sciatica After Selective Nerve Root Blocks by Cai M, Yin J, Jin Y, Liu H

“…Although selective nerve root block (SNRB) is an effective, highly target-oriented interventional procedure for patients with LDH, accurately predicting the risk of sciatica recurrence in such patients after SNRB remains a major challenge.Objective: We aimed to construct a nomogram model by integrating clinical data, imaging features and inflammation markers that could predict recurrent sciatica following SNRB in LDH patients, which fill the inflammation data gaps during model construction.Methods: In total, 121 sciatica patients were enrolled and assigned to the recurrence group (n = 41) and non-recurrence group (n = 80). …”
