Risk model for depression in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: ObjectiveThe correlation between depression and prostatitis is widely acknowledged; however, there is a dearth of comprehensive risk models that can predict the risk of depression in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. In this investigation, we devised a predictive model to ascertain the likelihood of depression in these patients.MethodsThis prospective study enrolled 599 patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome between January 2022 and January 2025. The patients were randomly divided into training (70%, n = 419) and validation (30%, n = 180) cohorts. Using depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥10) as the primary outcome, we developed a nomogram using Boruta and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator feature selection f
