Table 6 Areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the independent predictors and nomogram model in the modeling group.
| Areas under the ROC curve | 95% CI | |
|---|---|---|
| Pre/end pre-albumin | 0.689 | 0.602–0.768 |
| PLR during RT | 0.645 | 0.556–0.727 |
| NLR at the end of RT | 0.678 | 0.591–0.757 |
| Nomogram model | 0.811 | 0.733–0.874 |
| CI – confidence interval; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; RT – radiation therapy; NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. | ||
