Objective To explore the risk factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), and try to establish a risk prediction model for LNM of EGC.Methods The clinicopathologic data of EGC patients who underwent radical gastrectomy and lymph node dissection from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the risk factors for LNM of EGC, and the risk prediction model for LNM of EGC was established based on the multivariate results.Results A total of 311 cases of EGC were included in this study, and 60 (19.3%) cases had LNM. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that age (younger), depth of tumor invasion (submucosa), vascular invasion, and undifferentiated carcinoma were the risk factors for LNM of EGC (P<0.05). The optimal threshold for predicting LNM of EGC was 0.158 (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.864), the sensitivity was 80.0%, and the specificity was 79.3%.Conclusions From results of this study, risk factors for LNM of EGC have age, depth of invasion, vascular invasion, and differentiation degree. Risk prediction model for LNM of EGC established on this results has high sensitivity and specificity, which could provide some references for treatment strategy of EGC.
