Risk analysis of visceral pleural invasion in malignant solitary pulmonary nodules that appear touching the pleural surface.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The preoperative determination of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in patients with malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) is essential for determining the surgical range and selecting adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objectives

This study aimed to systematically investigate risk factors of VPI in patients with SPN and construct a preoperative predictive model for such patients.

Design

This is a retrospective study. The clinical, radiological, and pathological characteristics of study subjects were reviewed, and the groups with and without VPI were compared.

Methods

Multivariate logistic analysis was utilized to identify independent risk factors for VPI. Moreover, a predictive nomogram was constructed to assess the likelihood of VPI occurrence.
