Nomograms on prediction of life expectancy in men with clinically localized prostate cancer
Study | Prediction model | Outcome measure | No of Patients | Variables | Discrimination |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Albertson et al91 | Probability formula | OS (10 years) | 451 | Age, GS and index of coexistent disease category | 71% |
Tewari et al92 | Probability graph | OS (10 years) | 6149 | Age, race, comorbidity, PSA, GS, treatment type | 63% |
Cowen et al93 | Probability nomogram development | Life expectancy (5–15 years) | 506 | Age, CCI, presence of angina, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, marital status, PSA, GS, CS, treatment type | 73% |
Walz et al45 | Probability nomogram development | Life expectancy (10 years) | 9131 | Age, CCI, treatment type | 84.3% |
OS, overall survival; CCI, Charlson comorbidity index; RP, radical prostatectomy; PSA, prostate specific antigen; PSADT, prostate specific antigen doubling time; BCR, biochemical recurrence; GS, Gleason sum; CS, clinical stage; EBRT, external beam radiotherapy.
