Construction and validation of a nomogram for patients with skin cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Skin cancer is a common malignant tumor in human beings. At present, the construction of clinical prediction models mainly focuses on malignant melanoma and no researchers have constructed clinical prediction models for all kind of skin cancer to predict the prognosis of skin cancer. We used patient data collected from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results program database to construct and validate our model for clinical prediction of skin cancer, hoping to provide a reference for clinical treatment of skin cancer.R software was used for univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis of variables to screen out factors that have an impact on the survival of skin cancer patients. Then the prognostic model of skin cancer patients was constructed and the nomogram was drawn. Concordance Index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve were used to evaluate the clinical prediction model.A total of 3180 skin cancer patients were included in this study. We constructed nomogram, a 3-year and 5-year clinical prediction model for skin cancer patients. We used C-index to evaluate the accuracy of nomogram model, and the result of C-index was 0.728, 95%CI (0.703-0.753). The nomogram model was evaluated by ROC curve. The area under the curve values of the ROC curve for 3-year survival rate and 5-year survival rate were 0.732 and 0.768 respectively. The model calibration diagram of the modeling group also shows that the model exhibits high accuracy.The nomogram model of postoperative survival of patients with skin cancer, based on the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results program database of patients with skin cancer, has shown good stability and accuracy in multi-method validation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
