Analysis of risk factors for poor wound healing after Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum and establishment of a predictive model.

ABSTRACT: The Nuss procedure is a widely used treatment for pectus excavatum (PE) that significantly enhances the effectiveness of correction and improves patient satisfaction. However, it is not without its limitations. One common complication that patients face is poor wound healing (PWH). Identifying risk factors for poor wound healing and accurately predicting its occurrence are critical for improving patient outcomes. Currently, there is limited research on poor wound healing in postoperative patients, and there is an urgent need for more robust clinical studies. Over the past decade, we collected data on about 40 indicators from 581 patients who underwent Nuss surgery in our hospital. Lasso regression and multivariate regression analysis (MRA) were used to identify factors significantly associ
