Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after receiving immunotherapy and construct a prediction model to evaluate the overall survival rate of patients.
Methods: This study was a retrospective study that collected data from 493 NSCLC patients who received immunotherapy for the first time. Survival data were analyzed using Cox regression models and the Kaplan-Meier method. The average age of patients was 56 years, and the data collection process included regular outpatient follow-up and observation of overall survival (OS) in the last 36 months.
Results: Multivariate analysis identified significant risk factors such as smoking history, age, T stage, and M stage on survival and disease progression. The model's performance indicators (C-index and AUC) and calibration curve verified the model's accuracy and predictive ability. In the training set, the AUCs of 3-year and 5-year survival were 0.761 and 0.763, respectively, and in the validation set, they were 0.739 and 0.761.
Conclusion: This study developed a prediction model for evaluating the survival of NSCLC patients after immunotherapy that integrates multiple influencing factors. This predictive model can be used as a tool to assess individual risks in NSCLC patients after immunotherapy, helping clinicians to develop more precise treatment and follow-up plans, potentially improving patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
