Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) data was utilized as a model validation set. Differential analysis revealed 37 DEGs, and consistent clustering showed that pyroptosis-related genes could predict LC prognosis. Six genes (CHMP7, GSDME, GZMB, CASP9, IL6, and NLRP1) were obtained by Lasso Cox regression analysis to construct a prognostic model.

Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed that the risk score was an independent prognostic factor. Enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG pathways revealed that differentially expressed genes may be related to infection, T cell differentiation, immunity, and inflammation. It was further found that the low survival rate of the high-risk group may be related to the significant reduction of immune cell infiltration and immune function.
