The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were adopted to select the best prognostic variables. A nomogram was developed to predict the OS of these patients. The nomogram was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, the concordance index (C\u2010index), and calibration curves. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was adopted to assess its net clinical benefit. Additionally, a Lasso\u2010Cox regression model was utilized to explore prognostic factors in real\u2010world patients with PSC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The multivariate analysis revealed that sex, T, N, and M stages, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and liver metastasis were independent prognostic factors of OS for patients with PSC, and a nomogram was developed to predict the OS of these patients. The ROC curves and the estimated C\u2010index displayed that the nomogram yielded excellent performance in predicting OS. Calibration curves demonstrated satisfactory consistency between the actual and predicted OS. DCA illustrated that the nomogram would provide significant net clinical benefits. Consistent findings were discovered in the internal and external validation cohorts. Lasso\u2010Cox regression models revealed that surgery and immunotherapy were key protective factors for OS, while ECOG \u2265\u20092, underlying medical history, and distant metastasis constituted major risk factors for OS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The constructed nomogram is a reliable risk classifier to achieve personalized survival probability prediction for patients with PSC.
