Clinical diagnosis model of spinal meningiomas based on the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database.

ABSTRACT: Most spinal meningiomas (SM) are benign lesions of the thoracic spine and are usually treated surgically. This study aimed to explore treatment strategies and construct a nomogram for SM. Data on patients with SM from 2000 to 2019 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. First, the distributional properties and characteristics of the patients were descriptively evaluated, and the patients were randomly divided into training and testing groups in a 6:4 ratio. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to screen the survival predictors. Kaplan-Meier curves explained survival probability by different variables. The nomogram was constructed based on the results of LASSO regression. The predictive power of the nomogram was id
