description Background: Bladder cancer(BLCA) is the ninth most common cancer. In recent years, necroptosis was found to be related to the occurrence and development of tumors. In this study, we aimed to construct a model based on a necroptosis-related signature to evaluate the potential prognostic application in BLCA. Methods: A total of 67 necroptosis-related genes were used to select the ideal cluster numbers, and it was found that there were four necroptosis-related patterns. Then, we compared the gene expression levels among all of the groups and established a necroptosis-related prognostic model. We made the following enrichment analysis of function and built a novel scoring system, the NEC score, to evaluate the state of necroptosis according to the expression level of necroptosis-related genes. Results: A total of 67 necroptosis-related genes were used to define four distinct necroptosis-related patterns: NEC cluster1–4. Each NEC cluster exhibited different patterns of survival and immune infiltration. Based on univariate Cox regression analyses and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression, 14 necroptosis-related genes were established to develop the NEC score. Patients were divided into two groups based on the NEC score. Patients in the high NEC score group had a significantly poorer overall survival than those in the low NEC score group. We further confirmed the correlation of clinical characteristics, as well as the immunotherapy outcome, with the NEC score, and confirmed the potential of the NEC score to be an independent prognostic factor. Furthermore, we compared the expression levels of eight potential biomarker genes between our own BLCA tissues and para-carcinoma tissue. Conclusion: We developed a novel NEC score that has a potential prognostic value in BLCA patients and may help personalized immunotherapy counselling.
