Development and validation of a predictive nomogram for vascular crises in oral and maxillofacial cancer patients undergoing free flap surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop and validate a predictive model for identifying vascular crises following free tissue flap transplantation in patients undergoing surgery for oral and maxillofacial tumors.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study utilized medical records from the Department of Head and Neck Oncology, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, covering the period from January 2014 to December 2021. The analysis included 1,786 cases, divided into a training group (n = 1,251) and a validation group (n = 535). Variables included demographic factors, clinical characteristics, and surgical details. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors, which were then incorporated into a nomogram. The model's pe
