Prediction of postoperative health-related quality of life among patients with metastatic spinal cord compression secondary to lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a critical aspect of overall well-being for patients with lung cancer, particularly those with metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC). However, there is currently a lack of universal evaluation of HRQoL in this specific patient population. The aim of this study was to develop a nomogram that can accurately predict HRQoL outcomes in patients with lung cancer-related MSCC.

Methods

A total of 119 patients diagnosed with MSCC secondary to lung cancer were prospectively collected for analysis in the study. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis, along with 10-fold cross-validation, was employed to select the most significant variables for inclusion in the nomogram. Discriminative and
