OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation of conventional MRI, DCE-MRI and clinical features with pain response after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with spinal metastases and establish a pain response prediction model.

METHODS: Patients with spinal metastases who received SBRT in our hospital from July 2018 to April 2022 consecutively were enrolled. All patients underwent conventional MRI and DCE-MRI before treatment. Pain was assessed before treatment and in the third month after treatment, and the patients were divided into pain-response and no-pain-response groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to obtain the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each variable. C-index was used to evaluate the model's discrimination performance.

RESULTS: Overall, 112 independent spinal lesions in 89 patients were included. There were 73 (65.2%) and 39 (34.8%) lesions in the pain-response and no-pain-response groups, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of treated lesions, pretreatment pain score, Karnofsky performance status score, Bilsky grade, and the DCE-MRI quantitative parameter Ktrans were independent predictors of post-SBRT pain response in patients with spinal metastases. The discrimination performance of the prediction model was good; the C index was 0.806 (95% CI: 0.721-0.891), and the corrected C-index was 0.754.

CONCLUSION: Some imaging and clinical features correlated with post-SBRT pain response in patients with spinal metastases. The model based on these characteristics has a good predictive value and can provide valuable information for clinical decision-making.

KEY POINTS: • SBRT can accurately irradiate spinal metastases with ablative doses. • Predicting the post-SBRT pain response has important clinical implications. • The prediction models established based on clinical and MRI features have good performance.
