Abstract
BackgroundVidian neurectomy (VN) is commonly used to treat chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps combined with allergic rhinitis (CRSwNP with AR). However, its therapeutic efficacy varies among individuals. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict treatment efficacy and provide reference for clinical decision-making.MethodsA total of 350 patients with CRSwNP and AR who underwent VN were retrospectively enrolled and divided into effective and ineffective groups based on treatment outcomes. Univariate analysis was performed to compare demographic and disease-related characteristics between the two groups. Significant variables from the univariate analysis were included as predictors in an XGBoost model, with SHAP visualization used to identify important features. In parallel, multivariate logistic regression was conducted to determine independent predictors of efficacy. Variables identified as both important and statistically significant from these two methods were used to construct a nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated using calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultsThe effective group accounted for 74.57% of the cohort. The ineffective group showed significantly higher values in several indicators, including disease duration, history of endoscopic sinus surgery, inflammatory markers, and symptom scores. Both the XGBoost model and multivariate logistic regression identified preoperative white blood cell count (WBC), operation duration, history of endoscopic sinus surgery, total IgE level, and SNOT-22 score as significant predictors (all P < 0.05). The constructed nomogram based on these factors demonstrated good predictive performance (training set AUC = 0.738, validation set AUC = 0.853) and clinical applicability (DCA showed notable net benefit).ConclusionThis study successfully developed and validated a nomogram incorporating preoperative WBC, operation duration, prior surgical history, total IgE, and SNOT-22 score to predict the efficacy of VN in treating patients with CRSwNP and AR. The model offers a reliable tool to assist clinicians in making personalized treatment decisions.
