In this study, we aimed to develop a computed tomography (CT) -based radiological-clinical prediction model for evaluating the surgical difficulty of RPLA.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from 398 patients with adrenal tumors treated by RPLA in a single center from August 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into sets. The influencing factors were selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model (LASSO). Additionally, the nomogram was constructed. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the prediction efficiency of the nomogram. The C-index and bootstrap self-sampling methods were used to verify the discrimination and consistency of the nomogram.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Result<\/jats:title><jats:p>The following 11 independent influencing factors were selected by LASSO: body mass index, diabetes mellitus, scoliosis, hyperlipidemia, history of operation, tumor diameter, distance from adrenal tumor to upper pole of kidney, retro renal fat area, hyperaldosteronism, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, and myelolipoma. The area under the curve (AUC) of the training set was 0.787, and 0.844 in the internal validation set. Decision curve analyses indicated the model to be useful. An additional 117 patients were recruited for prospective validation, and AUC was 0.848.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study developed a radiological-clinical prediction model proposed for predicting the difficulty of RPLA procedures. This model was suitable, accessible, and helpful for individualized surgical preparation and reduced operational risk. Thus, this model could contribute to more patients\u2019 benefit in circumventing surgical difficulties because of accurate predictive abilities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fendo.2022.1004112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,25]],"date-time":"2022-11-25T05:39:26Z","timestamp":1669354766000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A
