A study on risk prediction of decline in self-care ability one month after discharge in postoperative colorectal cancer patients based on routine clinical indicators
To investigate the risk factors for the decline in activities of daily living (ADL) one month after discharge in colorectal cancer patients with normal ADL at discharge, and to establish a risk prediction model to provide evidence for early screening of high-risk populations and optimized transitional care in clinical practice.
Key Findings:
19.4% of patients developed ADL decline one month after discharge.
Height and retinol-binding protein were negatively correlated with reduced self-care ability (P < 0.05).
Mean red blood cell volume, triglycerides, and coronary heart disease history were positively correlated with reduced self-care ability (P < 0.05).
The prediction model had an AUC of 0.884, indicating good discrimination and calibration.
Interpretation:
The prediction model can effectively identify high-risk patients early, allowing for tailored discharge preparation and transitional care interventions.
Limitations:
The study was conducted at a single center, which may limit generalizability.
The retrospective design may introduce biases in data collection and analysis.
The sample size may affect the robustness of the findings.
Conclusion:
The prediction model incorporating height, mean corpuscular volume, retinol-binding protein, triglyceride, and coronary heart disease history can effectively identify high-risk patients early.
