| 【Abstract】 Background Nonsuicidal selfinjury (NSSI) constitutes a critical publichealth concern requiring urgent attention, given its high prevalence among adolescents suffering from depression. Prior research has largely centered on identifying correlates of NSSI behaviors in adolescent populations, whereas studies developing intuitive, quantifiable visual models to facilitate rapid clinical assessment remain comparatively limited. Objective To explore the risk factors for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents with depressive disorders and construct a visual nomogram prediction model that can rapidly evaluate individual NSSI risk probability in clinical settings and enable efficient screening of high-risk adolescent patients. Methods This investigation constitutes a cross-sectional study. A total of 448 adolescent patients diagnosed with depressive disorders according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) were enrolled from the Mental Health Department of Lanzhou University Second Hospital between February and December 2025. All participants were randomly divided into a modeling group (313 cases) and a validation group (135 cases) at a ratio of 7:3. Assessments were performed using the SelfRating Depression Scale (SDS), SelfRating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale11 (BIS11), Childhood Trauma QuestionnaireShort Form (CTQSF), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to screen independent predictors of NSSI behaviors in the modeling group, based on which a nomogram model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the discrimination, calibration and clinical utility of the model, respectively.. Results Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that younger age, female sex, higher SDS score, higher BIS11 score, higher CTQSF score, and higher PSQI score were risk factors for NSSI behaviors in adolescent patients with depressive disorder (OR?=?0.816, 2.671, 1.131, 1.030, 1.064, 1.102; P?<?0.05 or 0.01). The Homser-Lemeshow(HL) test of the nomogram prediction model constructed based on these six indicators showed a good fit(χ2=15.144, P=0.056). Internal and external validations indicated that the AUC of the modeling group was 0.895 and that of the validation group was 0.891. The calibration curves suggested that the mean absolute errors between the actual values and the predicted values were 0.043 and 0.023, respectively. The decision curve demonstrated that when the predicted risk threshold was>0.11, the model exhibited significant clinical net benefit. Conclusions The nomogram prediction model for NSSI risk in adolescent with depressive disorder, constructed based on six indicators including age, gender, severity of depression, impulsivity, childhood trauma, and sleep quality, has high discrimination, accuracy, and clinical application value. |
