Machine learning classifiers for predicting 3-year progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with gliomas after surgery.

ABSTRACT: Background: To develop machine-learning based models to predict the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with gliomas and explore the effect of different feature selection methods on the prediction. Methods: We included 505 patients (training cohort, n = 354; validation cohort, n = 151) with gliomas between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016. The clinical, neuroimaging, and molecular genetic data of patients were retrospectively collected. The multi-causes discovering with structure learning (McDSL) algorithm, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (LASSO), and Cox proportional hazards regression model were employed to discover the predictors for 3-year PFS and OS, respectively. Eight machine learning classifiers with 5-
