Derivation and validation of a nutrition-covered prognostic scoring system for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction Patients with aggressive lymphomas are at high risk of losing body resources, resulting in malnutrition, immunodeficiency and inferior outcomes. Nutritional status is closely associated with survival, but often neglected in the prognostic assessment. This study aimed to explore the significance of nutritional status in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL). Methods Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to examine the significance of nutritional index on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). A nutrition-incorporated score system was constructed based on the multivariate results, and its calibration, discrimination and clinical utility were tested in the training and validation cohort. Results Multivariate analysis revealed controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score could independently predict OS (HR 10.247, P =0.001) and PFS (HR 5.587, P =0.001) in addition to prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma plus EBV (PINK-E). Herein, a reformative model, CONUT-PINK-E, was developed and further verified in external validation cohort. CONUT-PINK-E classified patients into three risk grades with significant survival differences ( P < 0.001). Compared with the current models, CONUT-PINK-E presented superior discrimination, calibration and clinical benefit. Discussion In this study, we firstly verified that CONUT score was efficient to screen prognosis-related malnutrition in ENKTL. Moreover, we developed the first nutritional assessment-covered scoring system, CONUT-PINK-E, which might be a promising tool to provide references for clinical decision-making of ENKTL patients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
