A personalized predictive tool was developed to assess the risk of postoperative mortality in elderly patients undergoing lobectomy for lung cancer. Factors such as sex, age, race, histology, and grade were identified as independent predictors of postoperative death in elderly patients.
BackgroundAn increasing number of lung cancer patients are opting for lobectomy for oncological treatment. However, due to the unique organismal condition of elderly patients, their short-term postoperative mortality is significantly higher than that of non-elderly patients. Therefore, there is a need to develop a personalised predictive tool to assess the risk of postoperative mortality in elderly patients. MethodsInformation on the diagnosis and survival of 35,411 older patients with confirmed lobectomy NSCLC from 2009 to 2019 was screened from the SEER database. The surgical group was divided into a high-risk mortality population group (<= 90 days) and a non-high-risk mortality population group using a 90-day criterion. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method to compare the differences in overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) between the two groups. The data set was split into modelling and validation groups in a ratio of 7.5:2.5, and model risk predictors of postoperative death in elderly patients with NSCLC were screened using univariate and multifactorial logistic regression. Columnar plots were constructed for model visualisation, and the area under the subject operating characteristic curve (AUC), DCA decision curve and clinical impact curve were used to assess model predictiveness and clinical utility. ResultsMulti-factor logistic regression results showed that sex, age, race, histology and grade were independent predictors of the risk of postoperative death in elderly patients with NSCLC. The above factors were imported into R software to construct a line graph model for predicting the risk of postoperative death in elderly patients with NSCLC. The AUCs of the modelling and validation groups were 0.711 and 0.713 respectively, indicating that the model performed well in terms of predictive performance. The DCA decision curve and clinical impact curve showed that the model had a high net clinical benefit and was of clinical application. ConclusionThe construction and validation of a predictive model for death within 90 days of lobectomy in elderly patients with lung cancer will help the clinic to identify high-risk groups and give timely intervention or adjust treatment decisions.
