Nomogram for predicting all-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality after TURBT for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: The main purpose of this study was to construct two nomograms to predict all-cause mortality (ACM) and cause-specific mortality (CSM) in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients after transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBTs). We selected NMIBC patients who underwent TURBT between 2004 and 2017 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The patients were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set at a ratio of 7:3. The independent influencing factors of ACM and CSM in the training set were determined by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. We then integrated those independent influencing factors to construct nomograms. These prediction nomograms were further verified in the validation set. The C-index, calibration curve
