External validation of OroGrams as a predictive model for overall and progression-free survival in Scottish patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective cohort study
The aims of this study were to externally validate the OroGrams (oropharyngeal cancer survival calculator) nomogram in a Scottish cohort with high endemic smoking rates, and to compare survival rates with the original validation cohort. A retrospective cohort study in Greater Glasgow and Clyde ENT and OMFS surgery departments was performed to investigate survival outcomes of patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) from January 2012 - December 2017. The main outcome measures were progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and Kaplan Meier curves.
