Candidate features were extracted, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was established. Within the training set, machine learning (ML) models were constructed, and their predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and confusion matrixes in the test set, thereby screening the best predictive classifier. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to obtain key characteristics of nomogram modeling, correction and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the clinical potential of this model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The LASSO selected 14 features. Random Forest (RF) had the highest AUC value, the highest accuracy, sensitivity, recall rate and F1 score on the training set and test set, and was the best classifier.
