BACKGROUND Previous studies reported hypertension remission after gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients, and the remission rate was 11.1%-93.8%. We have reported the factors of hypertension remission previously, however, the follow-up time was six months. It is necessary to identify risk factors for hypertension for a relatively longer follow-up time.AIM To analyze the predictive factors for hypertension remission one year after gastrectomy of gastric cancer patients and to construct a risk model for hypertension remission.METHODS We retrospectively collected the medical information of patients with concurrent gastric cancer and hypertension in a single clinical center from January 2013 to December 2020. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression of hypertension remission were conducted, and a nomogram model was established.RESULTS A total of 209 patients with concurrent gastric cancer and hypertension were included in the current study. There were 108 patients in the remission group and 101 patients in the non-remission group. The hypertension remission rate was 51.7% one year after gastrectomy. The remission group had younger aged patients(P = 0.001), larger weight loss(P = 0.001), lower portion of coronary heart disease(P = 0.017), higher portion of II-degree hypertension(P = 0.033) and higher portion of total gastrectomy(P = 0.008) than the non-remission group. Younger age(P =0.011, odds ratio = 0.955, 95%CI: 0.922-0.990), higher weight loss(P = 0.019, odds ratio = 0.937,95%CI: 0.887-0.989) and total gastrectomy(P = 0.039, odds ratio = 2.091, 95%CI: 1.037-4.216) were independent predictors for hypertension remission. The concordance index of the model was 0.769and the calibration curve suggested great agreement. Furthermore, decision curve analysis showed that the model was clinically useful.CONCLUSION Younger age, higher weight loss and total gastrectomy were independent predictors for hypertension remission after gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients. The nomogram could visually display these results.
