Objective: To analyze the applicability and predictive efficacy of Karnofsky Performance Scale(KPS), Palliative Performance Scale(PPS), Palliative Performance Index(PPI), and Delirium-Palliative Prognostic Score(D-PaP) in predicting the survival of terminal cancer patients in China. This study aims to provide a basis for enriching the types of survival period prediction tools, expanding the application scope of survival period prediction tools, improving the prediction effect of survival period and the accuracy of clinical medical staff's prediction. Methods: A prospective cohort study design was employed to recruit terminal cancer patients 304 cases from four medical institutions in Jiangsu Province, between September 2020 and October 2023. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the feasibility of the KPS, PPS, PPI, and D-PaP in predicting 7-day and 30-day terminal cancer patients. Additionally, the Kaplan-Meier survival curve was applied to examine the predictive differences among the four survival prediction tools based on a new cutoff value. Results: A total of 286 terminal cancer patients were included, with a median survival time of 8(3,15) days. For the 30-day survival prediction, the areas under the ROC curves for KPS, PPS, PPI, and D-PaP were 0.783(95%CI 0.687-0.878), 0.756(95%CI 0.658-0.855), 0.759(95%CI 0.655-0.862), and 0.872(95%CI 0.784-0.959), respectively. The Delong test results showed that there was a significant difference between D-PaP and KPS, PPI, and PPS for 30-day survival prediction(all P<0.05), while there was no significant difference among KPS, PPI, and PPS(all P>0.05). The optimal cut-off values of KPS, PPS, PPI and D-PaP were 25, 35, 3.75 and 8.25, respectively, with corresponding sensitivities of 62.2%, 76.0%, 67.9%, and 88.5%, and specificities of 83.3%, 70.8%, 75.0%, and 83.3%. Conclusion: KPS, PPS, PPI, and D-PaP can all be used to predict the survival period of terminal cancer patients in China, with D-PaP demonstrating particular suitability for predicting 30-day survival outcomes. |
