Abstract

Background: The unique anatomical characteristics and blood supply of the rectosigmoid junction confer particular significance to its physiological functions and clinical surgeries. However, research on the prognosis of rectosigmoid junction cancer (RSC) is scarce, and reliable clinical prediction models are lacking. Methods: This retrospective study included 524 patients diagnosed with RSC who were admitted to the Department of Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Surgery at the First Hospital of Jilin University between January 1, 2017, and June 1, 2019. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted in this study to identify independent risk factors impacting the survival of RSC patients. Subsequently, models were constructed using six different machine learning algorithms. Finally, the discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability of each model were evaluated to determine the optimal model. Results: Through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, we identified seven independent risk factors associated with the survival of RSC patients: age (HR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.3-2.8, P = 0.001), gender (HR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4-0.9, P = 0.013), diabetes (HR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.3-3.1, P = 0.002), tumor differentiation (HR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.4-3.1, P
