Nomogram for predicting early death in elderly patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma: A population-based SEER study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The disease and mortality rates of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) stabilize after peaking at the age of 60 years. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with early death (death within 6 months) in elderly (≥60 years) patients with LSCC and to establish predictive nomograms to aid clinicians in developing individualized treatment plans.

Methods

Data pertaining to elderly patients with LSCC between 2004 and 2015 was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (version 8.4.0). Multiple logistic models were used to identify the independent risk factors associated with early mortality. The overall risk of early death was predicted using a web-based probability calculator and predictive nomogram. The cohor
