Nomogram to Predict Cause-Specific Mortality in Patients With Surgically Resected Stage I Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Competing Risk Analysis

We evaluated the CIF of cause-specific death and competing risk death in patients with surgically resected stage I NSCLC using the SEER database. We also built proportional subdistribution models and the first competing risk nomogram to predict prognosis. Our nomograms show a relatively good performance and can be a convenient individualized predictive tool for prognosis.
