Objective:To explore the independent differential factors between degenerative knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and to construct a nomogram for differential diagnosis of degenerative knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis based on the differential factors.Methods:From February 2022 to September 2024, 240 arthritis patients who visited Shenzhen Bao'an District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled in the modeling group, including 120 cases of degenerative knee arthritis and 120 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, while 103 arthritis patients were selected as the validation group in an approximately 7∶3 ratio, the modeling group and validation group are randomly grouped. The patient's clinical data was collected and muscle bone ultrasound examination was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to screen for independent differential factors between degenerative knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. RMS package in R language was used to construct a differential diagnostic nomogram. Hosmer-Lemeshow test, calibration curve, and ROC curve were applied to evaluate the fitting effect, consistency, and discriminability of the model. The decision curve was applied to analyze the clinical utility and net benefit of the nomogram. Results:There was no statistically obvious difference in gender, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and joint cartilage changes between the modeling group and the validation group(P>0.05). The IgM RF, synovial thickness, proportions of meniscus injury, scab formation, popliteal cyst, and grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ blood flow signals in the rheumatoid arthritis group were higher than those in the degenerative knee arthritis group(P<0.05). IgM-RF, synovial thickness, meniscus injury, scab formation, popliteal cyst, and synovial blood flow signals were independent differential factors between degenerative knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Validation within the model: Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed χ2=5.186, P=0.737, the calibration curve showed that the actual curve of the model was basically consistent with the ideal curve, the AUC of the ROC curve was 0.884(95%CI 0.841-0.927), indicating good model fitting, consistency, and discriminability. Verification outside the model: Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed χ2=9.844, P=0.276, the calibration curve showed that the actual curve of the model was basically consistent with the ideal curve, and the AUC of the ROC curve was 0.868(95%CI 0.821-0.915). When the probability range of the high-risk threshold was between 0.12 and 0.95, the nomogram could achieve an obvious standard net benefit in the differential diagnosis of degenerative knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion:The nomogram constructed based on musculoskeletal ultrasound indicators has high differential value between degenerative knee arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. |
