Abstract
Summary of background data: The SORG-ML algorithms for survival in spinal metastatic disease were developed in patients who underwent surgery and were externally validated for patients managed operatively.
Objective: To externally validate the SORG-ML algorithms for survival in spinal metastatic disease in patients managed nonoperatively with radiation.
Study design: Retrospective cohort.
Methods: The performance of the SORG-ML algorithms was assessed by discrimination [receiver operating curves and area under the receiver operating curve (AUC)], calibration (calibration plots), decision curve analysis, and overall performance (Brier score). The primary outcomes were 90-day and 1-year mortality.
Results: Overall, 2074 adult patients underwent radiation for spinal metastatic disease and 29% (n=521) and 59% (n=917) had 90-day and 1-year mortality, respectively. On complete case analysis (n=415), the AUC was 0.76 (95% CI: 0.71-0.80) and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.73-0.83) for 90-day and 1-year mortality with fair calibration and positive net benefit confirmed by the decision curve analysis. With multiple imputation (n=2074), the AUC was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.83-0.87) and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.85-0.89) for 90-day and 1-year mortality with fair calibration and positive net benefit confirmed by the decision curve analysis.
Conclusion: The SORG-ML algorithms for survival in spinal metastatic disease generalize well to patients managed nonoperatively with radiation.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Spine Surgery is the ideal journal for the busy practicing spine surgeon or trainee, as it is the only journal necessary to keep up to date with new clinical research and surgical techniques. Readers get to watch leaders in the field debate controversial topics in a new controversies section, and gain access to evidence-based reviews of important pathologies in the systematic reviews section. The journal features a surgical technique complete with a video, and a tips and tricks section that allows surgeons to review the important steps prior to a complex procedure.
Clinical Spine Surgery provides readers with primary research studies, specifically level 1, 2 and 3 studies, ensuring that articles that may actually change a surgeon’s practice will be read and published. Each issue includes a brief article that will help a surgeon better understand the business of healthcare, as well as an article that will help a surgeon understand how to interpret increasingly complex research methodology. Clinical Spine Surgery is your single source for up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for spine care.
