Description

Xu et al reported models for predicting survival in a patient with an R0 head and neck soft tissue sarcoma. These include 2 nomograms, one of which does not use the Inflammatory-Nutrition Score (INS) and which is based on the AJCC 7th edition. The authors are from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in Guangzhou, China.

total score =

- SUM(points for all of the parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 260

 

value of X =

= (-0.0000607 * ((score)^2)) - (0.01661 * (score)) + 4.86

 

probability of 7 year survival =

= 1 / (1 + EXP((-1) * X))

 

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.78.
