A Nomogram Model for Predicting Prolonged Postoperative LOS After Total Knee Arthroplasty in Osteoarthritis Patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a preoperative and intraoperative factor-based nomogram model to predict the risk of prolonged postoperative length of stay after primary total knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis patients. Materials and Methods: The study included patients undergoing primary TKA for knee osteoarthritis between June 2022 and November 2024. Patients were randomly split into training (70%) and validation (30%) cohorts. Potential predictors were screened using LASSO regression and subsequently incorporated into a multivariate logistic regression to build the nomogram. The model's performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. Results: A total of 295 patients were included, with an average age of 66.58 ± 6.88 years. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression identified 12 potential predictors, and multivariate logistic regression further refined these to four independent risk factors: age, knee flexion range of motion, operation time, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. The nomogram demonstrated strong predictive performance, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values of 0.912 (95% CI: 0.858-0.966) in the training set and 0.817 (95% CI: 0.697-0.938) in the validation set. Calibration curves showed excellent agreement between predicted and observed outcomes, and decision curve analysis indicated significant clinical utility across a wide range of threshold probabilities. Conclusion: The model, based on age, knee flexion range of motion, operation time, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, provides a practical tool for clinicians to assess individual risks, optimize resource allocation, and improve patient outcomes. It is important to note that this was a single-center, retrospective study, and further validation in multi-center, prospective cohorts is recommended to confirm its generalizability.
