PurposeOur aim was to identify the clinical characteristics and develop and validate diagnostic and prognostic web-based dynamic prediction models for gastric cancer (GC) with bone metastasis (BM) using the SEER database.MethodOur study retrospectively analyzed and extracted the clinical data of patients aged 18-85 years who were diagnosed with gastric cancer between 2010 and 2015 in the SEER database. We randomly divided all patients into a training set and a validation set according to the ratio of 7 to 3. Independent factors were identified using logistic regression and Cox regression analyses. Furthermore, we developed and validated two web-based clinical prediction models. We evaluated the prediction models using the C-index, ROC, calibration curve, and DCA.ResultA total of 23,156 patients with gastric cancer were included in this study, of whom 975 developed bone metastases. Age, site, grade, T stage, N stage, brain metastasis, liver metastasis, and lung metastasis were identified as independent risk factors for the development of BM in GC patients. T stage, surgery, and chemotherapy were identified as independent prognostic factors for GC with BM. The AUCs of the diagnostic nomogram were 0.79 and 0.81 in the training and test sets, respectively. The AUCs of the prognostic nomogram at 6, 9, and 12 months were 0.93, 0.86, 0.78, and 0.65, 0.69, 0.70 in the training and test sets, respectively. The calibration curve and DCA showed good performance of the nomogram.ConclusionsWe established two web-based dynamic prediction models in our study. It could be used to predict the risk score and overall survival time of developing bone metastasis in patients with gastric cancer. In addition, we also hope that these two web-based applications will help physicians comprehensively manage gastric cancer patients with bone metastases.
