Independent risk factors for LNM were identified through univariate logistic regression (LR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, and multivariable LR. Fourteen machine learning models were constructed using 10-fold cross-validation, and model performance was evaluated by calculation of the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Five clinical and pathological characteristics were identified as independent risk factors for LNM in GC: Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), T stage, histological differentiation, vascular invasion, and total lymph node count. The categorical boosting (CatBoost) model demonstrated the best performance (AUC: 0.808) of all machine learning models tested, followed by the random forest model (0.806). Conversely, the AdaBoost model had the lowest AUC score (0.727). Further analysis of the CatBoost model showed that at the optimal threshold (0.56), it correctly identified approximately 82.7% of patients with LNM and approximately 69.4% of LNM-negative patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings demonstrate the value of inflammatory markers, including the GPS, in prediction of LNM in patients with GC, as well as the ability of machine learning models to enhance prognostic accuracy, support informed treatment decisions, and improve patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17562848261451338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,15]],"date-time":"2026-07-15T07:54:58Z","timestamp":1784102098000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Predictability of peripheral blood inflammatory markers in prediction of lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0239-8195","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Chongqing University Fuling Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China"},{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China"},{"name":"School of Medicine, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Chongqing University Fuling Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Chongqing University Fuling Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Chongqing University Fuling Hospital, Chongqing University, Chongqing 408000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yajun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongxue","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 401120, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing 400000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21834"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11427-022-2240-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","first-page":"101003","article-title":"Trends of gastric cancer burdens attributable to risk factors in China from 2000 to 2050","volume":"44","author":"He F","year":"2024","unstructured":"He F, Wang S, Zheng R, et al.
