Construction of a nomogram for personalized prediction of lower limb lymphedema risk after cervical cancer surgery.

Objective: This study aims to construct and evaluate an individualized nomogram for predicting the risk of lower limb lymphedema after cervical cancer surgery. Healthcare professionals can utilize line chart models to predict the probability of postoperative lower limb lymphedema in different patients, allowing for the early identification of high-risk patients and facilitating early prevention and treatment.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted among 411 cervical cancer patients treated at our hospital from May 2021 to December 2023.
