Abstract:Objective To investigate the risk factors for familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) combined with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to establish a predictive model.Methods A total of 103 FEVR patients admitted to Jinan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into an RRD group (n = 41) and a non-RRD group (n = 62) based on the presence of RRD, and their clinical data were collected. The LASSO-Logistic regression model was applied to select the influencing factors for FEVR combined with RRD and to construct a clinical prediction model. The model's fit was evaluated using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), comparing traditional Logistic and LASSO-Logistic regression models, and validated through calibration curves.Results In the RRD group, male adolescents were more prevalent, and there was a higher likelihood of coexisting with a history of eye trauma, high myopia, corneal, retinal and temporal side vitreous proliferation, ridgelike changes, and genetic mutations. Their red blood cell count, platelet count, equivalent sphere degree, and overall blood flow density were lower than those in the non-RRD group, while intraocular pressure was higher than in the non-RRD group, with these differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05).LASSO-Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of FEVR patients with RRD was higher in males [O^R = 5.257 (95% CI: 2.012, 15.828)], adolescents [O^R = 0.887 (95% CI: 0.848, 0.923) ], history of eye trauma [O^R = 4.750 (95% CI: 1.762, 13.781)], high myopia [O^R = 3.867 (95% CI: 1.330, 11.678) ], high intraocular pressure [O^R = 1.171 (95% CI: 1.065, 1.298)], low overall blood flow density [O^R = 0.684 (95% CI: 0.579, 0.790) ], retinal proliferation [O^R =2.977 (95% CI: 1.214, 7.750) ], temporal side vitreous proliferation [O^R = 3.379 (95% CI: 1.522, 7.861) ], ridgelike changes [O^R = 6.715 (95% CI: 2.824, 17.789) ], FZD4 mutation [O^R = 5.430 (95% CI: 1.814, 18.183) ], and LRP5 mutation [O^R = 5.057 (95% CI: 1.749, 15.756) ]. The LASSO-Logistic regression model had an AIC and BIC of 212.380 and 263.308, respectively, showing better precision than the traditional Logistic regression model.Conclusion The LASSO-Logistic regression model, composed of variables selected by the LASSO method, showed a good fit and predictive accuracy in assessing the risk of FEVR patients combined with RRD.
