[0002] Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a complex cyanotic congenital heart malformation with complex classification and a wide spectrum of diseases. Clinical cyanosis symptoms are obvious and the disease progresses rapidly. Once diagnosed, it is an indication for surgery, so emergency surgical intervention is often required. At present, the success rate of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection surgery remains at a high level (more than 90%), but postoperative obstruction has become the main problem affecting long-term prognosis and the most important factor affecting the long-term survival rate of children after surgery. Domestic and foreign literature reports that the postoperative obstruction rate is as high as 10%-18%, and the effect of secondary surgery is not good.
[0003] A large number of studies have confirmed that multiple factors can affect postoperative obstruction. However, when confounding factors are combined, questions such as what the postoperative effect of the patient will be, whether surgery should be performed, and what type of surgery should be performed have always been difficult problems that have plagued medical staff and patients.

Detailed Embodiment
[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0017] This prediction scoring method disclosed by the present invention can comprehensively and scientifically predict the probability of poor prognosis in total anomalous pulmonary venous connection surgery by generating an overall score. It will predict the probability of postoperative obstruction during preoperative assessment, and provide a scientific basis for preoperative clinical risk warning, accurate assessment, reasonable disposal, improving prognosis, and even prenatal consultation.
[0018] This prognosis prediction scoring method for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection surgery specifically includes the following steps.
[0019] S1 Statistical Analysis S1-1: Collect case information, including clinical information and ultrasonic imaging data; Clinical information includes name, gender, age in months, weight, surgical method, surgical circulation time, aortic cross-clamp time; Ultrasonic imaging data includes anatomical classification, whether there is obstruction in the drainage pathway before surgery, inner diameter of the common pulmonary vein cavity, common pulmonary vein cavity index.
[0020] S1-2: Draw the Kaplan-Meier survival curve, as shown in Figure 1 , and obtain the overall postoperative good rate level.
[0021] S1-3: The children were divided into an event group and a non-event group according to whether adverse events occurred after the operation. The clinical and ultrasonic effects of the two groups of children were statistically analyzed to obtain preliminary prediction indicators. The children were divided into an event group and a non-event group according to whether adverse events occurred after the operation. The clinical and ultrasonic imaging data of the two groups of children were statistically analyzed; chi-square test or t-test was applied. Considering the normal distribution of continuous variables, categorical variables were expressed in the form of n (%). The between-group differences were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. For continuous variables, if the data conform to the normal distribution, they were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the independent sample t-test was used for between-group comparison; if the data do not conform to the normal distribution, they were expressed as median (Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon rank sum test was used for between-group differences.
[0022] The gender, age, weight, Darling classification of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, preoperative obstruction of the drainage pathway, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, common pulmonary vein cavity diameter, and common pulmonary vein cavity index of the two groups of children were compared; finally, weight, Darling classification of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, preoperative obstruction of the drainage pathway, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, common pulmonary vein cavity diameter, and common pulmonary vein cavity index were selected as preliminary prediction indicators.
[0023] S1-4: The COX proportional hazards model was used to determine the independent risk factors associated with poor surgical prognosis; finally, the mixed type was determined as the independent risk factor affecting the prognosis.
[0024] In this embodiment, the risk odds ratio is 3.84.
[0025] S1-5: According to the above statistical results, an ROC curve of the correlation between the relevant indicators and the prediction efficacy of poor surgical prognosis was drawn, as shown in Figures 2 - 6 , and the final prediction indicators were determined, and the cut-off value was obtained; after drawing the ROC curve, the factors with the area under the curve AUC > 0.65 were determined as the final prediction indicators of the model.
[0026] The inclusion indicators were gender, age in months, weight, surgical method, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, anatomical classification, whether there was obstruction of the drainage pathway before surgery, common pulmonary vein cavity diameter, and common pulmonary vein cavity index.
[0027] Finally, it was determined that six indicators, namely cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, anatomical classification, whether there was obstruction of the drainage pathway before surgery, common pulmonary vein cavity diameter, and common pulmonary vein cavity index, were statistically significant. Among them, the prediction efficacy of the anatomical classification group could not be represented by the ROC curve.
[0028] S1-6: Score the final inclusion criteria according to the prediction efficacy of the ROC curve, and divide the risk stratification according to the total score; score the final inclusion criteria according to the prediction efficacy of the ROC curve. A total of 6 factors are finally obtained. Among them, a mixed type is obtained by COX regression, and the efficacy of the remaining 5 factors is evaluated by the ROC curve. Finally, the scores are assigned together.
[0029] The specific scoring method is as follows:
[0030] Specifically, first, through chi-square test and t-test, determine that the factors with statistical differences between the two groups are risk factors, and determine the scores according to the ROC curve efficacy. However, there are four types of classifications. The chi-square test can only show that the classification factor has an impact, but it does not know which type of classification is good and which is bad. The ROC method cannot be used, so further COX regression is required. COX shows that the mixed type is an independent risk factor, and the mixed type should be scored more. The specific steps are to group first, and then perform chi-square and t-tests to determine seven factors; the seven factors are divided into two types: six of them use ROC, and one uses COX; ROC excludes one (weight AUC = 0.61), and COX determines one type with the worst prognosis (mixed type).
[0031] Divide the risk stratification according to the total score after scoring; among them, 10-14 points are high risk; 5-9 points are medium risk; 1-4 points are low risk.
[0032] S2 Inclusion and exclusion criteria S2-1: Inclusion criteria (1) All cases are complete total anomalous pulmonary venous connection cases diagnosed by surgery in our hospital; (2) Have clear preoperative and postoperative echocardiogram data; (3) Have complete surgical records; (4) Postoperative follow-up for more than 12 months; (5) The informed consent form for this research content is signed by the guardians of the children; S2-2: Exclusion criteria (1) Children undergoing secondary surgery; (2) Children who cannot undergo biventricular repair, such as: functional single ventricle, situs inversus, atrial isomerism, etc.; (3) Refusing surgical treatment; S3 Method for obtaining ultrasonic parameters Method for obtaining the anteroposterior inner diameter of the common pulmonary vein cavity: The common pulmonary vein cavity behind the pulmonary artery and aorta can be clearly shown in the high parasternal three-vessel section. Perpendicular to the anterior wall of the common pulmonary vein cavity, measure the anteroposterior inner diameter of the common pulmonary vein cavity.
[0033] The calculation formula for the common pulmonary vein cavity index is as follows: Common pulmonary vein cavity index = Inner diameter of the common pulmonary vein / Body surface area.
[0034] The body surface area is calculated using the domestic children's health care medical formula:
