Prospective multicenter validation of a clinical score model for muscular injury risk stratification during esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection
摘要
A clinical score model has been developed to stratify the risk of muscular injury during esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This study aimed to prospectively validate the model in a multicenter cohort.
MethodsA multicenter prospective cohort analysis of esophageal ESD was conducted. Individual data on patients, lesions, and outcomes of ESD were utilized to validate the model for muscular injury risk stratification.
ResultsA total of 704 patients with esophageal lesions treated by ESD across two hospitals were included in the study. Muscular injury occurred in 10.5% of low-risk and 61.5% of high-risk patients. The scoring system demonstrated good discriminatory performance, with an AUC of 0.761 (95% CI 0.713–0.809).
ConclusionsThe clinical score model showed acceptable performance for muscular injury risk stratification during esophageal ESD and may support perioperative decision-making.
