Dynamic Prediction of Overall Survival for Patients with Osteosarcoma: A Retrospective Analysis of the EURAMOS-1 Clinical Trial Data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Current prediction models for patients with ostosarcoma are restricted to predictions from a single, static point in time, such as diagnosis or surgery. These approaches discard information which becomes available during follow-up and may have an impact on patient's prognosis. This study aims at developing a dynamic prediction model providing 5-year overall survival (OS) predictions from different time points during follow-up. The developed model considers relevant baseline prognostic factors, accounting for where appropriate time-varying effects and time-varying intermediate events such as local recurrence (LR) and new metastatic disease (NM). A landmarking approach is applied to 1965 patients with high-grade resectable osteosarcoma from the EURAMOS-1 trial (NCT00143030). Results show that LR and NM negatively affected 5-year OS (HRs: 2.634, 95% CI 1.845-3.761; 8.558, 95% CI 7.367-9.942, respectively). Baseline factors with strong prognostic value (HRs > 2) included poor histological response (≥10% viable tumor), axial tumor location, and the presence of lung metastases. The effect of poor versus good histological response changed over time, becoming non-significant from 3.25 years post-surgery onwards. This time-varying effect, as well as the strong impact of disease-related time-varying variables, show the importance of including updated information collected during follow-up in the model to provide more accurate survival predictions.

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.
