Gliederung

Text

Objective: Glioblastoma survival prognostication has become more refined by the molecular reclassification into isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type and IDH mutant tumors. We aimed to provide an updated prediction model that predicts individual survival prognosis in IDH wild-type glioblastoma patients.

Methods: Data from existing databases from Germany and The Netherlands provided data on de novo diagnosed glioblastoma patients treated between 2012 and 2018. The prediction model considered recent glioblastoma biology markers in addition to well-known classical prognostic variables which were updated and refined with additional categories. The clinical prediction model was developed with Cox proportional hazards regression. Performance was evaluated according to calibration (calibration plots, calibration slope) and discrimination (c-statistic) in a cross-validation procedure to assess external validity.

Results: The German patient cohort consisted of 710 patients of whom 511 (72%) had died. Median follow-up was 11 months. The Dutch patient cohort consisted of 326 patients of whom 308 (94.5%) had died. Median follow-up was 10 months. Cohorts (n=1036) were combined to develop three models in order of increasing complexity. The final model considering age, gender, preoperative Karnofsky performance status, extent of surgical resection, MGMT promoter methylation status, and adjuvant therapeutic regime showed an optimism-corrected c-statistic of 0.73 (95% confidence interval 0.71 – 0.75). Cross-validation between the national cohorts yielded comparable results. Moderate miscalibration was observed.

Conclusion: The prediction model reliably predicts individual survival prognosis in newly diagnosed IDH wild-type glioblastoma patients, although additional validation – especially for long-term survival – may be desired. The nomogram and web application support shared decision making.
