Popis: Purpose New vertebral compression fractures(NVCFs) after minimally invasive surgery in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is a challenging issue worldwide. Predicting the occurrence of NVCFs is key to addressing such questions. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the risk factors for patients who developed NVCFs after undergoing surgical treatment and establish a nomogram model to reduce the occurrence of NVCFs. Methods This study is a retrospective analysis that collected the general characteristics and surgical features of patients who underwent surgical treatment at 2 central institutions between January 2017 and December 2020. Patients were divided into training and testing sets based on the presence or absence of NVCFs. Independent risk factors for NVCFs were obtained in the training set of patients, and then a nomogram model was constructed. Internal and external validation of the nomogram model was performed using the consistency index (C index), receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results A total of 562 patients were included in this study. Patients from the first center were used for nomogram construction and internal validation, and patients from the second center were used as an external validation population. Multivariate regression analysis showed that age, Hounsfield unit (Hu) value, cement leakage, and thoracolumbar (TL) junction fracture were independent risk factors for NVCFs after minimally invasive surgery. The C index was .85, and the validation of internal and external validation shows that the predicted values of the established model is in good agreement with the actual values. Conclusions In this study, 4 independent risk factors were obtained by regression analysis, and a nomogram model was constructed to guide clinical work. The application of this model can help surgeons to make more accurate judgments to prevent the occurrence of NVCFs.
