ABSTRACT
Low back pain (LBP) constitutes a distressing emotional ordeal and serves as a potent catalyst for adverse emotional states, notably anxiety. We dedicated to discerning methodologies for identifying patients who are predisposed to heightened levels of anxiety and pain. A self-assessment questionnaire was administered to patients afflicted with LBP. The pain scores were subjected to analysis in conjunction with anxiety scores, and a clustering procedure was executed using the scientific k-means methodology. Subsequently, six machine learning algorithms, including Logistics Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB), were employed. Next, five pertinent variables were identified, namely Age, Course, Body Mass Index (BMI), Education, and Marital status. Furthermore, a LR model was utilized to construct a nomogram, which was subsequently subjected to assessment for discrimination, calibration, and evaluation of its clinical utility. As a result, 599 questionnaires were valid (effective rate 99 %). The correlation analysis revealed a significant association between anxiety and pain scores (r = 0.31, P < 0.001). LBP patients could be divided into two clusters, Cluster1 had higher pain scores (P < 0.05) and SAS scores (P < 0.001). The proposed nomogram demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) of 0.841 (95 %CI 0.804-0.878) and 0.800 (95 %CI 0.733-0.867) in the training and test groups, respectively. Briefly, the established nomogram has demonstrated remarkable proficiency in discerning individuals afflicted with LBP who are at a heightened risk of experiencing anxiety.
