Predicting the Probability of Tumor-Specific Survival in Patients Diagnosed With Primary Tumors in the Spinal Cord Using Nomogram Models.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

A retrospective cohort study.

Objective

The goal of this study was to develop a useful clinical prediction nomogram to accurately predict the cancer-specific survival (CSS) of patients with primary spinal cord tumor (SCT), thereby formulating scientific prevention and aiding clinical decision-making.

Methods

In this study, patients with SCT diagnoses from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database (2000-2018) were taken into account. Initially, a nomogram was created using the CSS-associated independent factors that were determined from both univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Furthermore, the nomogram's capacity for calibration, ability to discriminate, and actual clinical effectiveness were assessed through calibra
