Predicting survival rates: the power of prognostic nomograms in distal cholangiocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this research is to establish a prognostic nomogram for patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA).

Methods

We obtained clinical data from 2401 patients diagnosed with distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) between 2010 and 2020 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. These patients were randomly assigned to either the training or validation group in a ratio of 6:4. 228 patients were enrolled from 9 hospitals in China as the external validation cohort. Univariate and multifactorial Cox regression analyses were conducted to ascertain prognostic factors and prognostic nomograms were developed utilizing LASSO logistic regression analysis. We used the calibration curve, and area under the curve to validate the nomograms. Decision cur
