Abstract:

Objective To develop a recurrence risk prediction model for colorectal polyps based on polyp characteristics and serological indicators, aiming to improve early recognition of colorectal polyp recurrence and personalized treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 235 patients who underwent colorectal polyp resection. Based on whether recurrence occurred, the patients were divided into the recurrence group (56 cases) and the non-recurrence group (179 cases). Clinical data, polyp characteristics and related serological indicators were collected. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors for colorectal polyp recurrence. Based on the results of Logistic regression, a nomogram model for predicting colorectal polyp recurrence risk was constructed, and the model’s predictive performance was evaluated using ROC and calibration curves. Results Compared with the non-recurrence group, the recurrence group had higher age, male proportion, body mass index (BMI), family history proportion, polyp size, proportion of adenomatous polyps, proportion of high-grade lesions, and elevated serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR = 1.032, 95%CI: 1.003-1.062), BMI (OR = 1.064, 95%CI: 1.000-1.131), family history (OR = 2.34, 95%CI: 1.039-5.267), high-grade pathological lesions (OR = 6.323, 95%CI: 2.184-18.430), polyp size (OR = 3.161, 95%CI: 1.434-6.965), CEA (OR = 1.486, 95%CI: 1.160-1.904), and CRP (OR = 1.132, 95%CI: 1.022-1.254) were important predictors for colorectal polyp recurrence. Based on these factors, a nomogram model for predicting colorectal polyp recurrence risk was constructed. Model evaluation showed that the nomogram had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.893 (95%CI: 0.836-0.950), sensitivity of 81.6%, specificity of 87.5%, and good discrimination and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 = 2.396, P = 0.743). Conclusion The recurrence risk prediction model based on polyp characteristics and serological indicators developed in this study has high predictive efficacy and can effectively assess the risk of colorectal polyp recurrence.
