MPBC
Data on patients diagnosed with MpBC from 2010 to 2019 are from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program in the United States. All patients were randomly assigned to the training set and validation set. The proportional sub-distribution risk model was used in the training set to analyze the risk factors affecting patient death. Based on the risk factors for cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in patients, we constructed a competitive risk model to predict patients’ 1-, 3-, and 5-year cancer-specific survival. Then we used the concordance index (C-index), the calibration curve and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to validate the discrimination and accuracy of the model.
