This study aimed to develop a prediction model visualized by nomogram to predict recurrence and survival outcomes in LGSOC patients.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with LGSOC, using Cox regression to identify factors associated with recurrence and survival for further development of prediction model. The model's accuracy and discriminative ability were assessed with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curves. The predictive performance of the model and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging was compared using the concordance index (C-index), net reclassification improvement (NRI), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Additionally, a deep-learning-based prediction model was developed through regression analysis, with performance evaluated via Kaplan-Meier analysis and C-index.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A cohort of 155 patients with LGSOC was analyzed and four independent prognostic factors were identified and incorporated into a Cox regression-based model. The model demonstrated good calibration, as shown by calibration curves. Through internal validation, the model showed superior discriminatory ability over the FIGO staging system, with higher C-indexes for both disease-free survival (0.781 vs. 0.689) and overall survival (0.802 vs. 0.679), which was further confirmed by significant improvements in IDI and NRI. Additionally, the deep learning-based model based on this model was developed to evaluate potential non-linear relationships. This model achieved even higher predictive performance, with C-indexes of 0.907 for disease-free survival and 0.922 for overall survival.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>We developed a risk prediction model, visualized by a clinically practical nomogram to predict recurrence and survival outcomes in LGSOC patients.
