description PurposeTo develop and externally validate a prognosis nomogram based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) combined clinical for preoperative prognosis prediction of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods184 patients from Center A with histopathologically confirmed PDAC who underwent CECT were included and allocated to training cohort (n=111) and internal validation cohort (n=28). The radiomic score (Rad - score) for predicting overall survival (OS) was constructed by using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to construct clinic-pathologic features. Finally, a radiomics nomogram incorporating the Rad - score and clinical features was established. External validation was performed using Center B dataset (n = 45). The validation of nomogram was evaluated by calibration curve, Harrell’s concordance index (C-index) and decision curve analysis (DCA). The Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used for OS analysis.ResultsUnivariate and multivariate analysis indicated that Rad – score, preoperative CA 19-9 and postoperative American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM stage were significant prognostic factors. The nomogram based on Rad - score and preoperative CA19-9 was found to exhibit excellent prediction ability: in the training cohort, C-index was superior to that of the preoperative CA19-9 (0.713 vs 0.616, P< 0.001) and AJCC TNM stage (0.713 vs 0.614, P< 0.001); the C-index was also had good performance in the validation cohort compared with CA19-9 (internal validation cohort: 0.694 vs 0.555, P< 0.001; external validation cohort: 0.684 vs 0.607, P< 0.001) and AJCC TNM stage (internal validation cohort: 0.694 vs 0.563, P< 0.001; external validation cohort: 0.684 vs 0.596, P< 0.001). The calibration plot and DCA showed excellent predictive accuracy in the validation cohort.ConclusionWe established a well-designed nomogram to accurately predict OS of PDAC preoperatively. The nomogram showed a satisfactory prediction effect and was worthy of further evaluation in the future.
