Construction and verification of a predictive model for depression risk of patients with somatization symptoms
This model integrates sociocultural (e.g., family structure) and behavioral factors to predict depression risk in somatizing patients, particularly in East Asian contexts. It offers a practical tool for clinicians to prioritize high-risk individuals, reducing diagnostic delays and healthcare burdens. Future multicenter studies should validate its generalizability and incorporate biomarkers (e.g., inflammatory markers) to enhance mechanistic insights.
