Establishment of a risk prediction model for bowel necrosis in patients with incarcerated inguinal hernia.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Incarceration occurred in approximately 5% to 15% of inguinal hernia patients, with around 15% of incarcerated cases progressing to intestinal necrosis, necessitating bowel resection surgery. Patients with intestinal necrosis had significantly higher mortality and complication rates compared to those without necrosis.The primary objective of this study was to design and validate a diagnostic model capable of predicting intestinal necrosis in patients with incarcerated groin hernias.

Methods

We screened the clinical records of patients who underwent emergency surgery for incarcerated inguinal hernia between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022. To ensure balanced representation, the enrolled patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 180) and a val
