Development and validation of a nomogram to predict the achievement of minimal clinically important difference following percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy
Key Points
The nomogram shows good predictive ability for achieving minimal clinically important difference after surgery, enhancing patient outcomes.
AUC of 0.85 indicates high accuracy in predicting patient recovery following percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy.
Development of the nomogram involved assessing various preoperative risk factors affecting lumbar disc patients.
The findings highlight the potential for personalized treatment strategies to improve postoperative recovery and satisfaction.
Abstract
The study developed and validated a nomogram that can predict the achievement of MCID following PELD by assessing preoperative risk factors in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
