Fig. 3.

Prognostic nomogram for the prediction of significant characteristics along with AI, THR and LHR for 3-year, 5-year and 10-year survival of all gastric cancer patients. Abbreviations: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; TNM, tumor-node-metastasis; L_classification, Lauren’s classification; BMI, body mass index; AI, atherogenic index; THR, triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio; LHR, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. Predictive magnitude can be calculated by drawing a vertical line linking the value of each parameter with the point score at the top of this nomogram (the “Points” line). Next, the individual scores are summed to generate a total point score, which is plotted along the “Total Points” line, as well as the “3-year survival”, “5-year survival” and “10-year survival” line at the bottom of this nomogram to judge the risk of gastric cancer mortality
