Risk stratification using a nomogram model for postoperative cancer-related fatigue in elderly survivors following early-stage non-small cell lung cancer resection

Key Points

• To develop a nomogram model for stratifying the risk of postoperative cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in elderly survivors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
• Developed a nomogram model to assess risk factors related to postoperative cancer-related fatigue.
• Focused on elderly patients who underwent non-small cell lung cancer resection.
• Utilized validation methods to ensure the effectiveness of the nomogram.
• The nomogram effectively stratifies the risk of severe postoperative cancer-related fatigue in elderly NSCLC survivors.
• Healthcare practitioners can use the tool to identify high-risk individuals.
• Facilitates timely interventions to manage cancer-related fatigue.
