Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop and internally validate a nomogram of the probability EC patients surviving longer than 5 years. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT–PCR) was implemented to analyze the expression of lncRNA-LA16c-313D11.11 in 60 EC tissues. The clinicopathological characteristics and follow-up data were retrospectively gathered and analyzed. To establish the prediction model, multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied, and the discrimination, calibration, and clinical practicability of the prediction model were assessed with a concordance index (C-index), calibration chart, and decision curve analysis. Bootstrap validation was performed for internal validation. The prediction factors included the age of patients, myometrial invasion, lymphovascular space invasion, histological subtype, and the expression of lncRNA-LA16C-313D11.11. The model demonstrated good calibration and modest discrimination (C-index = 0.860, 95% confidence interval: 0.724–0.946). Moreover, the interval validation achieved a high C-index value of 0.778. This study revealed the predictive value of lncRNA-LA16C-313D11.11 and successfully developed a nomogram for predicting EC patients survival longer than 5 years, which may facilitate the institution of personalized treatment algorithms, surveillance strategies, and lifestyle interventions.
