Abstract:Objective: Based on prospective design, a predictive model for chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) was developed and verified for different orthopedic surgery types. Methods: The study design was a prospective study, and the subjects were selected from adult patients who underwent elective orthopedic surgery in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from July 2023 to May 2024. Multivariate logistic regression was used to establish a CPSP prediction model, and the model was internally and externally validated by bootstrapping and validation sets. Results: A total of 298 patients were included in the formal analysis, and 104 (52%) and 50 (51%) patients in the training set (n=200) and validation set (n=98) developed CPSP. The area under the ROC curve of the obtained CPSP prediction model was 0.769 (95% CI: 0.705-0.834), and the external verification result was 0.822(95% CI: 0.739-0.905). The calibration curve is close to diagonal in internal and external verification, and the decision curve is higher than the extreme curve. The model contains 5 predictors, including Preoperative DN4 score (OR 1.28, 95% CI 0.98-1.67), Worst pain on POD1 (OR 1.24, 95% CI 1.09-1.41), DN4 score on POD1 (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.00-1.79), Postoperative hospital stay (OR 1.08, 95% CI 1.00-1.16), Perioperative Cobratide (OR 1.81, 95% CI 0.86-3.83). Conclusions: This study established and verified a CPSP prediction model suitable for different orthopedic surgery procedures, which can be used to identify patients at risk of CPSP early. For the first time, the study found that perioperative use of Cobratide is one of the risk factors for CPSP, and its relationship with CPSP needs further study.
