Figure 4.
Prediction performance of the preCIRI21 model. Fourteen feature cytokines of preCIRI14 model and 7 clinical and circulating factors (age, sex, stage, BMI, blood albumin of pre, NLR of pre, and tumor PD-L1 expression) were used in preCIRI21. (A) C-indices of preCIRI21 model for the training and validation sets; time-dependent AUC of ROC at each time points for the (B) training and (D) validation sets; overall survival time of ‘high risk’ (high CIRI) and ‘low risk’ (low CIRI) groups predicted by preCIRI21 for the (C) training and (E) validation sets using optimized cut-off values (see online supplemental figure S6). AUC, area under the curve; BMI, body mass index; CIRI, Cytokine-based ICI Response Index; NLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; ROC, receiver operating characteristic.
