Predictive model for survival in patients having repeat radiation treatment for painful bone metastases
Abstract
PURPOSE: To establish a survival prediction model in the setting of a randomized trial of re-irradiation for painful bone metastases.
METHODS: Data were randomly divided into training and testing sets with an approximately 3:2 ratio. Baseline factors of gender, primary cancer site, KPS, worst-pain score and age were included with backward variable selection to derive a model using the training set.
