Patients undergoing surgery in 2019 were attributed to the training group (n\u2009=\u2009188) and those undergoing surgery in January 2022 to June 2022 were attributed to the validation (n\u2009=\u200953) group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictive factors for STAS, which were used to construct a simple nomogram. Furthermore, ROC and calibration curves were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. In addition, we conducted decision curve analysis (DCA) to assess the clinical utility of this nomogram.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In our cohort, 52 patients were identified as STAS-positive (21.6%). In univariate analysis, STAS was significantly associated with age, surgical approach, CEA, CTR (Consolidation Tumor Ratio), TNM stage, tumor grade, gross tumor size, resection margin, vessel cancer embolus, pleural invasion, lymph node metastasis, high ki67 and positive PD-L1 staining (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Lower age, CTR\u2009&gt;\u20090.75, vessel cancer embolus, high Ki67 and PD-L1 stain positive were significant predictors for STAS during multivariate logistics analysis. A simple nomogram was successfully constructed based on these five predictors. The AUC values of our nomogram for the probability of tumor STAS were 0.860 in the training group and 0.919 in the validation group. In addition, the calibration curve and DCA validated the good performance of this model.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A nomogram was successfully constructed to identify the presence of STAS in surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma patients.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-023-02458-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,21]],"date-time":"2023-11-21T19:09:05Z","timestamp":1700593745000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["An individualized nomogram for predicting and validating spread through air space (STAS) in surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma: a single center retrospective analysis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Jing","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuanshan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dongfang","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2458_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.3109\/01913128009141415","volume":"1","author":"T Kodama","year":"1980","unstructured":"Kodama T, et al.
